{"title":"Walter Benjamin","authors":"W. Benjamin, S. Unseld, I. Scheurmann, Konrad Scheurmann, T. Nevill","doi":"10.5860/choice.33-6221","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5860/choice.33-6221","url":null,"abstract":"Cultural theorist and political philosopher Walter Benjamin (b. 1892–d. 1940) reflected on the thought processes and imaginative life of the child both in dedicated writings and, tangentially, in his major works. As a young man Benjamin wrote essays critical of high school education, and he was a supporter of the German Youth Movement until he became disillusioned with its nationalist tone. Subsequently Benjamin’s engagement shifted toward early childhood and took many forms: he collected antique children’s books; recorded the sayings and opinions of his infant son; made radio broadcasts for children; composed a memoir of his own childhood years in Berlin; and devoted a number of prose fragments to aspects of drama for young people, play, toys, and the numinous qualities of childhood reading. Influenced by the German Romantic view of the purity of a child’s vision that removes the subject-object barrier, Benjamin suggests in these works that in the course of developing an intense relationship with its immediate locality the child simultaneously absorbs and animates the innate qualities of the natural or manufactured object. Benjamin also regarded language play, witnessed in the utterances of his young son and the magical resonance of his own childhood misunderstandings, as essential to the formation of memory images and the imagination. He does not, however, present an idealized vision of childhood, since children are engaged in a cycle of destruction as well as renewal, and play with the detritus of daily life is essential to the growth of the child’s autonomy—as indeed are acts of mimesis and an immersion in the imaginative world of the book and its illustration. Alongside these observations on the child’s intellectual and imaginative development, Benjamin assumes the role of mentor in broadcasts for children that seek to encourage a historical and political consciousness in the young. He returns to his student interest in education in essays on the nature of colonial and proletarian pedagogy, and in a manifesto on proletarian children’s theater. Initially, little critical attention was paid to Benjamin’s writings on childhood in the English-speaking world, partly because of their gradual appearance in English translation. It is only in recent decades that the significance of Benjamin’s illuminating reflections on childhood, play, and education has become apparent, and that the autobiographical Berlin Childhood around 1900) has gained recognition as an expression in serial “thought-images” of the speculation on memory and materialist historiography that is essential to his philosophy.","PeriodicalId":42983,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Childhood Studies","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82041080","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}

{"title":"Theater for Children and Young People","authors":"","doi":"10.1093/obo/9780199791231-0243","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/obo/9780199791231-0243","url":null,"abstract":"The relationship between theater and children has a long and evolving history, mirroring the evolving conceptualization of childhood itself. Children have featured as performers, or had a presence within audiences, far earlier than the emergence of anything specifically labeled as theater for children. For much of the 19th and early 20th centuries, whether a performance was for children was rarely clearly delineated. For example, while J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan is now considered the most famous single piece of “theater for children” it is contested as to whether it was specifically intended for children when first performed in 1904. In the modern guise of theater for children (often also titled theater for young audiences, or TYA), a central tension exists, echoing that in literature for children, in the work being made for children, but created, performed, and written by adults. Among other elements, this often results in theater for children having a close educational ethos or moralistic focus, reflecting and reinforcing adult conceptualization of childhood and adult/child social relationships. Over the last several decades, however, theater for children and young people has entered a period of increased vitality in which some of these relationships have started to change. This vitality is manifested in professionalization, the growth of festivals, dedicated venues, and the increased commitment of innovative artists who have sought to develop the practice in new directions, including through participatory and applied theater practices that seek to give voice to and explore the lived experiences of young people. Accompanying these developments, the field has also received far greater critical and scholarly attention in the last several decades. Historically the study of theater for children has struggled to assert a strong independent identity, often subsumed into literary studies. What is emerging today, however, is something much broader and more vibrant, often interdisciplinary and embracing performance and literature studies, education and child development, psychology and politics. It engages with the core issues of our times, including a growing focus on inclusivity, whether in relation to race, sexuality, or disability. Nonetheless, theater for children has much work to do to decolonize and decenter itself from white and Western dominances. There is also a strong thread of research interest in audiences, which seeks to understand children’s lived experiences of theater and in creative and participatory research methodologies. Finally, and interconnecting all these elements, theater for children is often political and frequently deeply ambitious, driven by a strong sense of idealism that is perhaps childlike in the very best of senses.","PeriodicalId":42983,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Childhood Studies","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86814575","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}

{"title":"Pierre Bourdieu","authors":"Anne-Laure Anizan","doi":"10.1093/obo/9780199791231-0241","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/obo/9780199791231-0241","url":null,"abstract":"Pierre Bourdieu (b. 1930–d. 2002) is widely regarded as one of the most influential sociologists and social theorists of the 20th century. He was an exceptionally productive researcher with a broad range of interests and a prolific writer: during his lifetime he published more than forty books and five hundred articles, essays, lectures, reviews, interviews, commentaries, films, and photography. His influence extends beyond sociology to philosophy, anthropology, education, geography, history, cultural studies, economics, political studies, feminist studies, science studies, and postcolonial studies. Bourdieu was born in a small village in the rural area of Béarn, in southwestern France, in a peasant sharecropper, later postman’s, family. He left his home region to pursue an academic education in Paris where he studied philosophy at the prestigious École normale supérieure (ENS). After graduation he was sent to Algeria to undertake his military service. Returning to France, he first had some teaching posts until he was nominated as director of studies at the (then) École pratique des haute études, in 1964; he also took over as director of the Centre de Sociologie Européenne. From this base, Bourdieu, with his collaborators, instigated a program of investigations into several aspects of cultural, social, and economic life, predominantly from the viewpoint of how they served in the reproduction of power and inequalities in French social life. Through his studies in the 1960s and 1970s, Bourdieu became first known as a sociologist of education. Childhood, as a topic or even an index word, hardly appears in Bourdieu’s published work. He did, however, register the phenomenon of childhood in some of his early, more methodological work when he referred to the (originally Durkheimian) notion of socialization, whereas “childhood” would have been for him “just a word,” similar to his response to the topic of “youth.” In his sociology of education, especially in his renown book Reproduction in Education, Society, and Culture (orig. 1970), written with his colleague Jean-Claude Passeron, children exist in the context of “pedagogic activity” within the family and the educational system. After Reproduction, Bourdieu’s focus widened to other fields of French social life. Unsurprisingly, the first uses of Bourdieu’s ideas in child(hood)-related studies were in the sociology of education, especially after the translation of Reproduction into English in 1977. Since the new field of childhood studies started to evolve in the mid-1980s, more Bourdieu-inspired studies have also emerged, with a broadening focus on children and childhood in social life.","PeriodicalId":42983,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Childhood Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90288918","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}
