Entangle, Entangled, Entanglements: Reimagining a Child and Youth Engagement Model Using a Common Worlds Approach
This paper responds to the call to explore pedagogical relations and dialogues in considering how to create climate pedagogies that are responsive, dynamic, and transformative in thinking about human and nonhuman relations. Using the lens of entanglement, the paper attempts to bring into dialogue children’s rights and more-than-human ways of thinking to understand what, if any, commonalities lie in these two projects and whether and how a rights-…
Introduction. Thinking through Sociality: The Importance of Mid-level Concepts
Thinking Through Sociality: An Anthropological Interrogation of Key Concepts
As issues and circumstances investigated by anthropologists are becoming ever more diverse, the need to address social affiliation in contemporary situations of mobility, urbanity, transnational connections, individuation, media, and capital flows, has never been greater. Thinking Through Sociality combines a review of classical theories with recent theoretical innovations across a wide range of issues, locales, situations and domains. In this bo…
Children’s participation and protection in a globalised world: Reimagining ‘too young to wed’ through a cultural politics of childhood
The article responds to the question of how to facilitate participation in international child protection efforts by examining the ways a critique of power can broaden participation, as well as how the cultural politics of childhood and globalisation frame these efforts. The argument that is advanced is to expand participation by formulating an imaginative and dynamic model of power to include children and young people in interrogating the ways p…
She's From a `Good Family: Performing childhood and motherhood in a Canadian private school setting
In this article, the author explores the performances and practices of motherhood and childhood as they materialize in a private elementary school setting in Ottawa, Canada. The author analyses the ways the ideology of intensive mothering and the intensification of children's lives intersect and inform one another in this setting. She argues that these mutually reinforcing conceptualizations are maintained through surveillance and mother blame th…
At ‘home’ and ‘away’
This chapter explores the relationship between anthropological configurations of the ‘field’ and ‘fieldwork’, key orienting concepts of the discipline on the one hand, and contemporary research practices on the other.1 I argue, following Clifford (1992) and Gupta and Ferguson (1992, 1997), that a continued insistence on a spatialized notion of a’field’, as a site of research involving physical displacement to a geographically distant place in ord…
Children in Their Places: A Consideration of the Social Policy
Telling Stories from the Field: Children and the Politics of Ethnographic Representation
IntroductionOver the past 20 years, the politics of ethnographic writing and representation have been of central concern for feminist anthropologists. A number of issues have been addressed including the processes of producing truths about women's lives, questions of difference and inclusivity, and the impact of research on research participants (Abu-Lughod, 1993; Cole and Phillips, 1995; di Leonardo, 1991; Stacey, 1988; Visweswaran, 1988, 1994).…
