One of them is the complexities of bringing together different histories and languages as they shape differentiated understandings of the field. In this article, we focus on agency, one of the main concepts that has shaped the New Social Studies of Childhood (NSSC). We discuss how childhood studies in the Global South have contributed to the development of agency in NSSC within English-speaking dialogues. We introduce the notion of agencia, the Spanish equivalent of agency, exploring its connotations in childhood studies and advocacy groups in Latin America. Finally, we bring together the different aspects of agency and agencia as they have been discussed throughout the paper, exploring how from these perspectives we can approach one specific event: secondary school students vaulting over the turnstiles at the metro stations in Santiago, Chile. This event initiated what has been known as the Chilean outbreak of October 2019, and the origin of the current constitutional process from which children have been ambiguously included/excluded.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128946225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These are often based on priorities developed in Northern academic institutions, sometimes in response to funding calls by grant-making agencies also based in the North. As a result, when Southern scholars contribute to the dominant childhood studies literature, a field of study in which the majority of well-known articles tend to be published in Northern-based Anglophone journals, their contributions stand mainly as empirical variations of mainstream Northern theories whose scholarship foregrounds theoretical and methodological frameworks designed with particular childhoods in mind. The resulting outcome is that Global South childhoods – in their plurality and diversity – do not contribute epistemically to the construction of a transnational childhood scientific discourse. This ultimately limits the quality of global childhood studies and hinders the development of more conceptually sophisticated, eventually divergent, theoretical frameworks that can account for multiplicity and diversity in childhoods. Therefore, this volume sought to explore locally driven perspectives of childhoods in diverse contexts in the South for the purpose of gaining insights into the knowledge that can be produced about Southern childhoods when research is driven by priorities, demands, and needs of locales in the Global South.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116758541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It proposes an agency–vulnerability nexus as a useful conceptual tool to consider these linked concepts and how they have been related in the literature on children and youth and across social and cultural contexts. We use the term ‘nexus’ as we seek to explore ‘agency’ and ‘vulnerability’ not as antonymic binaries but as multi-dimensional connections created both by individuals and by the sociocultural settings in which they inhabit. Drawing on secondary analysis of data from Growing up on the Streets, a longitudinal ethnographic research project where street children and youth were both participants and researchers, this article examines the applicability of the agency–vulnerability nexus among young people living in street settings. It concludes that by acknowledging a plurality of conceptual perspectives around children and youth agency, the agency–vulnerability nexus can be used conceptually to better understand street children and youth’s experiences.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127408570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead of taking for granted modern/traditional or North/South as heuristic categories that guide understandings of commonalities, differences, and singularities, we explore the usefulness of temporality. We propose a focus on how heterogeneous temporalities contribute to the production of childhoods in a historical narrative. This narrative incorporates multiple temporalities in a hierarchical regime in which those seen as “modern” and “civilized” are assumed as the only possible temporalities, while at the same time becoming part of the processes of differentiation, order, and social change. The temporal dimension involves exploring the tensions between biographical, state, and institutional time scales, and the multiple temporalities of globalisation. This requires the unravelling of the complexities of the historical dimension of being a child to understand how, specifically, Latin American childhoods are caught between heterogeneous temporalities. We apply these categories to analyse the case of child circulation in Latin America, as a historical example in which heterogeneous temporalities are expressed. Together, modernity and time(s) are powerful tools for unpacking the unequal distribution of the future(s) through the production of the “Latin American child”.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115959063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Temporary migrants in India belong to marginalised socio-economic strata of society and face multiple inequalities in both source and destination areas. This article focusses on the socio-spatial marginalisation of temporary migrant children in the city as an important identity dimension through which migrant children and their education were engaged with in the city. It explores the categories of ‘shed’ and ‘shed makkalu’ as vantage points to understand the socio-spatial marginalisation of migrant children in the city and how children themselves engage with their marginal locales in the city and its schools. This article draws on existing critiques around the theoretical canons of multiple childhood(s) and children’s agency to highlight that while migrant children actively engage with uncertain and erratic contexts of mobility and their marginal locations in the city, the structural conditions of development and education that shape their experiences of schooling should not be overlooked.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115534228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through oral histories of key women organisers in this struggle, this article looks at the ways neoliberal externalisation of labour shapes contemporary working lives in South Africa. I use the concepts of autonomy and belonging to interpret workers’ realities and efforts to change precarious conditions. From the workers’ experiences and women’s biographies emerge two key contestations that reveal what it means to be a precarious worker under neoliberal capitalism. The first contestation exists inside South Africa’s labour relations system that creates conditions of unbelonging and precarity for the majority of workers. At the Heineken plant, the established union sided with the employers and entrenched externalised labour arrangements. The second contestation concerns the presence of violence in social relations negotiated by women workers in all spheres of their lives. This article shows women workers’ persistent efforts to reconstitute relations and spaces of belonging on their own terms to oppose injustices in the workplace and in South African society.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114796909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
