Children’s Strategies for Agency in Preschool
This article is based on an ethnographic study of children’s everyday life in Swedish preschools. The ethnography is used to explore children’s strategies for influencing, defending and constructing the social order of a preschool institution. The focus of our concern is on how the children, in their interactions with each other and with the preschool teachers, manage the collective regulation and how they negotiate their participation in collect…

To be, or not to be
Self-narration has been discussed as a process of identity construction where a person, while telling her or his story and presenting herself/himself in relation to important people, creates a self-identity, in fact a version of self. This article is based on a study where pupils, aged 13-14, were asked to write and make drawings on the theme 'My future family'. The boys' stories are focused on here and the narratives are seen as reflecting the b…
Bodyhood and Fatherhood
In a project concerned with how adolescents construct their self-identities, a group of 13- to 14-year-old boys living in suburban and rural communities in Sweden wrote about a future family life and about themselves as fathers. The narratives are seen as reflecting the boys' ways of exploring a male identity through their main character. In the stories analysed here the boys' writing connects to fellowship, equality and the transmitting of knowl…
Competence and Connection
Writing an autobiography is one way of understanding one's history. In this article fictional stories of a future life are used as a key to understanding young people's conceptions of family relationships and of their own positions in a gender and power system. One hundred and forty-one pupils, aged 13-14, were asked to write and make drawings on the theme 'My future family'. The stories and drawings made by the 58 boys are the subject of my disc…
Establishing Order. Small Girls Write about Family Life
The data used here are narratives on the topic ‘My future family’. In all, 32 children, 18 girls and 14 boys, took part in the study. The aim was to analyse children's own descriptions and interpretations of what family life is like or could be like. The article focuses on four girls and discusses their narratives using concepts from literary theory. Two types of main characters are found. These are ideal types in Weber's meaning and many of the …
The child as project and the child as being
This article discusses the implicit psychological theories of parents, viewed as being related to the culture and analysable in term of ideology and world view. In a study in Sweden, parents of four year old children were interviewed concerning their ideas of child development Contrasting images of the child could be seen, sometimes co‐existing in one and the same person. It is argued that parents adopt contrasting ideas of child as a means of de…
