>This issue will address a broad range of issues relating to the category of
>childhood. We seek to explore the construction and experience of childhood
>-- past, present, and future. Contributions from an array of theoretical
>perspectives are welcome, including but not limited to psychoanalysis,
>feminism, post-structuralism, critical theory, Marxism, post-colonialism,
>and queer theory.
>
>Possible topics and questions for consideration:
>* The use of the category "child" or "children" in the construction of
>consumer discourses (e.g. "child-safe") political discourses (e.g. the
>rights of children, the "childrenization" of poverty) and legal discourses
>(e.g. child labor laws).
>* The regulation of childhood through education, medicalization, the
>judicial system, and consumption.
>* Children's media (e.g. cartoons, fairytales and children's books, video
>games) and the construction of childhood.
>* The politics and policies of reproduction (e.g. zero-growth, genetic
>engineering, gender selection, birth control, adoption, pre-natal care,
>category of childhood).
>* Violence by/toward children.
>* Growth and development (e.g. rites of passage, adolescence, puberty,
>sexuality, body image).
>* Disciplining children (e.g. spankings, naughtiness, beauty pageants,
>proper behavior, potty training).
>* Questions of the family (e.g. the construction of parents, family
>values).
>* Kids and technology.
>* Kids and play (e.g. recess, toys, Barbie culture, hobbies, sports).
>* The end of childhood / the end of innocence.
