Children's dark pictures—Societal critique in children's and young people's visual and verbal expressions about the UNCRC
This article focuses on what the author has termed children's ‘dark pictures’ to explore how children’ and young people express themselves visually and verbally about difficult issues—such as violence, death and trafficking. Two pictures created by children and young people about the UNCRC, and the interviews accompanying these pictures, are analysed as examples of the commonness of ‘dark’ issues emerging even when they are given assignments emph…
Child Studies Multiple: Collaborative play for thinking through theories and methods
This text is an exploration of collaborative thinking and writing through theories, methods, and experiences on the topic of the child, children, and childhood. It is a collaborative written text (with 32 authors) that sprang out of the experimental workshop Child Studies Multiple. The workshop and this text are about daring to stay with mess, 'un-closure' , and uncertainty in order to investigate the (e)motions and complexities of being either a…
Listening by ‘Staying With’ the Absent Child
This article explores what it means to listen to children by moving beyond the notion of voice and staying with the absences of children. In this way, we include the possibly lost, forgotten or unapproachable children in child and childhood research. Our methodological starting point is to listen by ‘staying with’ the absences of children’s verbal voices and physical bodies in two photographs. These photographs depict material artefacts connected…
Babies’ engagements with everyday things: An ethnographic study of materiality, movement and participation
Most importantly I want to thank the babies and their families who was a part of this study. I want to thank the babies for all the joyful encounters, the silent moments on the floor and for all the challenges you brought into the research process. Thanks for letting me be a part of your everyday lives and for pushing me to think differently about both your world and my own throughout the research process. Thanks to your parents for letting me in…
Infantmethodologies
Infantmethodologies is a concept that was playfully invented to gauge philosophical interestin the intersection between infants (or a chid; or infancy; or childhood) and methodologies(and philosophies, theories and concepts). This provocation aims to debate this intersection andweaves thinkers from around the world in order to generate discussion on the question, ‘Howdo we study a child’? Asking this question generates further questions: What pro…
Doing ethnographic method with babies – Participation and perspective approached from the floor
This article focuses on the insights we can gain about children's participation and children's perspectives by exploring babies' engagements with the researcher and research technology during ethnographic fieldwork in babies' homes. The article argues that attending to what is unplanned, troubling and messy offers opportunities for reflection on how participation and perspectives is done with babies in specific embodied and material research enco…
The flows of things – exploring babies’ everyday space-making
This article draws on a larger ethnographic study conducted in the homes of babies aged between one and 18 months and their families in Sweden. The article explores how everyday space is made in the homes of families through babies’ engagements with material things by methodologically working with maps, images, lists, and stories. Three themes – the practices of spreading things out, the height at which activities take place, and the multiplicity…
Culture by babies: Imagining everyday material culture through babies' engagements with socks
This article takes its point of departure in babies' engagements with socks and seeks to explore (1) how material culture matters in babies' everyday lives and (2) how we can understand material culture through attending to babies' own practices, that is, babies' culture. The ongoingness, sensoriality and movement of material culture are highlighted, and the article concludes that re-thinking material culture through babies' engagements with sock…
