Abstract

Cet ouvrage est destiné aux professionnels, aux étudiants ainsi qu’aux personnes sensibles à la question de l’adolescence contemporaine. Il propose une approche des adolescents du xxie siècle en croisant clinique psychanalytique, sociologie et anthropologie. L’appui sur la culture adolescente en elle-même (littérature, cinématographie, manga, numérique, graffitis, etc.) apporte, à travers son analyse, une lecture quant à l’inédit adolescent. La psychanalyse de l’adolescence ne peut que s’emparer des objets culturels pour traiter ses jeunes patients, en les considérant comme des équivalents psychiques de la conflictualité du monde interne et des tensions du processus pubertaire

Abstract

"A Queer History of Adolescence reveals categories of age-and adolescence, specifically-as an undeniable and essential mechanism in the production of difference itself. Drawing from a dynamic and varied archive, including British and American newspapers, medical papers and pamphlets, and adolescent and children's literature circulating on both sides of the Atlantic, Gabrielle Owen argues that adolescence has a logic, a way of thinking, that emerges over the course of the nineteenth century and that survives in various forms to this day. This logic makes the idea of adolescence possible and naturalizes our historically specific ways of conceptualizing time, development, social hierarchy, and the self. Rich in intersectional analysis, this book offers a multifaceted and historicized theory for categories of age that challenges existing methodologies for studying the people called children and adolescents. Rather than offering critique as an end in and of itself, A Queer History of Adolescence imagines the world-making possibilities that critique enables and, in so doing, shines a necessary light on the question of relationality in the lived world. Owen exposes the profound presence of history in our current moment in order to transform the habits of mind shaping age relations, social hierarchy, and the politics of identity today"--

Abstract

"Depuis sa plus tendre enfance, Florence ignore tout ce qui se passe... en-dessous de la ceinture. Elle imagine que le papa met la petite graine dans le nombril de la maman, et puis de toute façon, il est tacitement interdit, dans la famille, de parler de « la chose qui ne doit pas être dite ». Alors... Florence imagine des scénarii terribles, parfois idiots ; Florence s'angoisse devant le poids de la tradition qui place inéluctablement la femme dans une position inférieure ; Florence, à sa façon, résiste pour ne pas sombrer."

Abstract

After tracking the lives of thousands of people from birth to midlife, four of the world’s preeminent psychologists reveal what they have learned about how humans develop. Does temperament in childhood predict adult personality? What role do parents play in shaping how a child matures? Is day care bad—or good—for children? Does adolescent delinquency forecast a life of crime? Do genes influence success in life? Is health in adulthood shaped by childhood experiences? In search of answers to these and similar questions, four leading psychologists have spent their careers studying thousands of people, observing them as they’ve grown up and grown older. The result is unprecedented insight into what makes each of us who we are. In The Origins of You, Jay Belsky, Avshalom Caspi, Terrie Moffitt, and Richie Poulton share what they have learned about childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, about genes and parenting, and about vulnerability, resilience, and success. The evidence shows that human development is not subject to ironclad laws but instead is a matter of possibilities and probabilities—multiple forces that together determine the direction a life will take. A child’s early years do predict who they will become later in life, but they do so imperfectly. For example, genes and troubled families both play a role in violent male behavior, and, though health and heredity sometimes go hand in hand, childhood adversity and severe bullying in adolescence can affect even physical well-being in midlife. Painstaking and revelatory, the discoveries in The Origins of You promise to help schools, parents, and all people foster well-being and ameliorate or prevent developmental problems.

Abstract

"A meticulously researched, richly detailed, and finely contextualized piece of work, and a magnificent contribution to the history of childhood and youth that will stimulate new thinking across historical, educational, and childhood studies."– John Wall, Rutgers University, USA "From the preface onwards the author places the book firmly in the history of childhood, an emphasis which, alongside that on education and social policy, will help it appeal to many audiences beyond academic historians: educators, educationalists, social workers, policy makers, and sociologists."– Rab Houston, University of St Andrews, UK In this book the emergence of schools in urban Sweden between the seventeenth and the nineteenth century provides the framework for a history of children and of childhood. It is a study through the lens of the changes in early modern education, spatial aspect of the life of children and systems of governance in the early modern Swedish state. Educational systems defined the spatial aspects of childhood—where children were supposed to grow up, in the home, the school, the streets and alleys, or the place of work—over a period of about two hundred years. Schools and education represent both a mental and a physical space; an abstract place for children as well as a local and concrete place for them, which stood out against the alternative spatial aspects of the life of children. It is also a study of how different cultural systems influence the definitions of childhood and schools, in the context of church and home instruction, poor relief, policing, surveillance, and the question of why children went to schools. It examines the role of the school as childcare and as a provider of food, shelter and welfare, and as governance. Bengt Sandin is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Thematic Studies, Unit of Child Studies, at the University of Linköping, Sweden.

Abstract

At what age do girls gain the maturity to make sexual choices? This question provokes especially vexed debates in India, where early marriage is a widespread practice. India has served as a focal problem site in NGO campaigns and intergovernmental conferences setting age standards for sexual maturity. Over the last century, the country shifted the legal age of marriage from twelve, among the lowest in the world, to eighteen, at the high end of the global spectrum. Ashwini Tambe illuminates the ideas that shaped such shifts.

Abstract

This book provides new insights on the lives of children in street situations by providing analyses from a qualitative perspective on the sociology of childhood. It proposes some insightful perspectives on the current discussion about the rights of children in street situations. It includes a unique selection of texts, which were initially published in French, written by the authors of this volume, on the lives of children in street situations in Latin America and China, that are now available to an English readership. It challenges obstacles, linked to macrosocial issues such as inequalities, images of the child, the separation of public/private spheres, urban dynamics and structural adjustments, as well as to microsocial dimensions such as identity, motivation, and activities that are constitutive of street situations. The book discusses the situations experienced by children, highlighting children’s reflexivity and strategies as social factors, and shedding new light on the debate “agency within structure”. .

Abstract

This volume provides a key analysis of Asian children’s literature and film and creates a dialogue between East and West and between the cultures from which they emerge, within the complex symbiosis of their local, national and transnational frameworks. In terms of location and content the book embraces a broad scope, including contributions related to the Asian-American diaspora, China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka, and Taiwan. Individually and collectively, these essays broach crucial questions: What elements of Asian literature and film make them distinctive, both within their own specific culture and within the broader Asian area? What aspects link them to these genres in other parts of the world? How have they represented and shaped the societies and cultures they inhabit? What moral codes do they address, underpin, or contest? The volume provides further voice to the increasingly diverse and fascinating output of the region and emphasises the importance of Asian art forms as depictions of specific cultures but also of their connection to broader themes in children’s texts, and scholarship within this field.

Abstract

“In an age of heightened anxiety over children’s digital media practices, this book offers a valuable collection of studies from various countries around the world that bring us a wide selection of approaches, concerns, methods, and voices of young people which are often absent in the public discourse. From sexuality, crime, and stranger-anxiety, to gaming and quantification of babies, this book provides significant theoretical and empirical contributions to the key moral panic debates and scholarship.” --Dafna Lemish, Rutgers University, UK This volume interrogates public debates about children and media across cultures, while taking fully into account the emotional baggage that accompanies the notion of moral panics. Contributors explore the social construction of discourses of anxiety surrounding childhood and youth, as well as the cultural histories that frame these discourses and their broader consequences in shaping public policy regarding children and young people. The collection is divided into four sections that respectively address neoliberal notions governing children and youth; research on media discourses of children and their cultural practices; anxieties related to sexual health and children’s consumption of popular culture; and parental concerns about children’s media practices. Liza Tsaliki is Associate Professor at the Department of Communication and Media Studies at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. She is the author of Children and the Politics of Sexuality: The Sexualization of Children Debate Revisited (Palgrave, 2016). Despina Chronaki (Dr) is an adjunct lecturer at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and the Hellenic Open University. .
