Download or read book Postdevelopmental Approaches to Childhood Research Observation written by Jayne Osgood and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-24 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the developmentalist paradigm that dominates research into children and childhood, focusing on observation as a research method. It offers new postdevelopmental ways of conducting childhood observations which are diverse in context and theoretical orientation, and in the process, deconstructs the dominant traditions of childhood research. Written by leading scholars based in Canada, Norway, the UK, and the USA, the chapters consider observation as it is enacted in the home, nursery or classroom. Drawing on a range of theories including feminist new materialism, social semiotics, and posthumanism, the chapters cover a range of topics including reciprocal methods, photography, childhood art, and memoir.
Download or read book Childhood and Migration in Europe written by Caitríona Ní Laoire and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood and Migration in Europe explores the under-researched and often misunderstood worlds of migrant children and young people, drawing on extensive empirical research with children and young people from diverse migrant backgrounds living in a rapidly changing European society. Through in-depth exploration and analysis of the experiences of children who moved to Ireland in the first decade of the 21st century, it addresses the tendency of migration research and policy to overlook the presence of children in migratory flows. Challenging dominant adult-centric perspectives on contemporary global migration flows and presenting understandings of the lives of migrant children and young people from their own experiences, this book presents a detailed exploration of children's lives in four different migrant populations in Ireland. With a unique comparative perspective, Childhood and Migration in Europe advances upon current conceptualisations of migration and integration by interrogating accepted views of migrant children and focusing on children's own voices and experiences. It challenges the prevailing assimilationist discourses underlying much existing research and policy, which often construct migrant children as deficient in different ways and in need of 'being integrated'.
Download or read book Childhood in Europe written by Manuela du Bois-Reymond and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a long time, scientific knowledge on children and childhood was almost exclusively produced by educationalists and developmental psychologists. In recent years, however, a new approach originating in Europe was added: childhood sociology. This book introduces this approach by presenting a collection of essays from various European countries: France, Germany, Sweden, Poland, the Netherlands, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Denmark. The articles cover a wide range of methodologies as well as subject areas in the field of childhood sociology, giving a picture of the life situation of contemporary children in Europe and arguing how childhood researchers can come to terms with new trends and facts of (post-)modern childhood.
Download or read book Irish Children and Teenagers in a Changing World written by David Hardiman and published by . This book was released on 2008-10-15 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an engaging and informative insight into the experiences, dreams and hopes of children and teenagers in contemporary Ireland. O’Connor analyzes a unique data set: a random sample of 4,100 texts drawn from roughly 34,000 texts written by young people aged 10-12 years and 14-17 years, in response to a nationwide invitation to describe themselves and the Ireland they inhabit. The young people’s voices give the book a vivid reality, which is illuminated by the application of sociological concepts including global and local, individualization, and ways of ‘doing boy/girl.’ The study leads us towards a better understanding of contemporary social problems by locating these young people’s accounts within the broader context of cultural change where collective identities have become weaker; where the local is enmeshed with the global; where children anticipate a predictable future and teenagers focus on an extended present; where gender is no longer salient but yet in many ways remains a submerged framework mapping their life styles, life choices and relationships. Written in an accessible style, the book presents a picture that is sometimes challenging, sometimes reassuring but always informative. Containing extensive quotations, it will be of interest not only to students and lecturers in sociology, education, child and youth studies, Irish studies and psychology but to thoughtful parents and teachers at first and second level, and especially those whose students took part in the Write Hear, Write Now project.
Download or read book Precarious childhood in post independence Ireland written by Moira Maguire and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating study reveals the desperate plight of the poor, illegitimate, and abused children in an Irish society that claimed to cherish and hold them sacred, but in fact marginalized and ignored them. It examines closely the history of childhood in post-independence Ireland, and breaks new ground in examining the role of the state in caring for its most vulnerable citizens. Maguire gives voice to those children who formed a significant proportion of the Irish population, but have been ignored in the historical record. More importantly, she uses their experiences as lenses through which to re-evaluate Catholic influence in post-independence Irish society. An essential and timely work, this book offers a different interpretation of the relationships between the Catholic Church, the political establishment, and Irish people; important for those interested in the history of family and childhood as well as twentieth-century Irish social history.

Download or read book Childhood Matters written by Jens Qvortrup and published by Ashgate Publishing. This book was released on 1994 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood Matters provides the reader with unique material on the living conditions of children in industrial society, and it presents a number of new theories and interpretations regarding the characteristics of childhood in modern society: in relation to family, economy, politics, time and space, intergenerational relations and demographic developments. The title Childhood Matters is pertinent in more than one sense. First of all, the book takes children seriously in their own right, in acknowledging their constructiveness as actors, not only for themselves and their own lives but also for society as a whole. Secondly, it challenges the idea of children whose target should be to become "integrated into society". School, day care and other structures constitute children's own life arenas, and it is forcefully argued that children's time and children's activities are their own, despite efforts by adult society to "colonize" them for its own purposes and interests.

Download or read book Aggression in Global Perspective written by Arnold P. Goldstein and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aggression in Global Perspective attempts to present both an elucidating and a utilitarian picture of aggression in global perspective: elucidating, in that it serves to help deepen the understanding of the meaning and nature of aggression throughout the world; utilitarian, in that its companion focus on aggression controls and alternatives in global perspective actually functions to aid the constructive, prosocial, anti-aggression efforts which do exist, or might exist, to more readily and more fully succeed. The book begins by drawing upon individual cultural perspectives on aggression, aggression control, and aggression alternatives to offer a more unified, global perspective. It compares, contrasts, distills differences and similarities, and suggests specific directions for future research and applied efforts at better understanding of aggression. The chapters which follow describe contemporary manifestations of aggression in a large number of nations representing almost the entire world. These descriptions are placed in a cultural context, providing an understanding of why, for the given country or region, aggression currently assumes particular forms, rates, and intensities. Such contextual information is also utilized in most of the ensuing chapters to aid in understanding how aggression ""fits in"" or is conceptualized in each nation's stream of daily living.
