Book description

The idea of children's agency is central to the growing field of childhood studies. In this book David Oswell argues for new understandings of children's agency. He traces the transformation of children and childhood across the nineteenth, twentieth and early twenty-first centuries and explores the dramatic changes in recent years to children's everyday lives as a consequence of new networked, mobile technologies and new forms of globalisation. The author reviews existing theories of children's agency as well as providing the theoretical tools for thinking of children's agency as spatially, temporally and materially complex. With this in mind, he surveys the main issues in childhood studies, with chapters covering family, schooling, crime, health, consumer culture, work and human rights. This is a comprehensive text intended for students and academic researchers across the humanities and social sciences interested in the study of children and childhood.

Reviews

‘This book offers a lucid and authoritative reconceptualisation of agency and probes crucial issues surrounding contemporary childhood and childhood studies. A text to think with - and act on.’

Kirsten Drotner - University of Southern Denmark

‘An insightful and very welcome addition to the field, The Agency of Children offers a fresh and distinctive approach to childhood studies. Harmonising past and present with his own clear voice, Oswell develops an original commentary that is a must-read for all who seek to understand children and childhood in contemporary times.’

Mary Jane Kehily - The Open University

‘A hugely significant reworking of the concept of agency with respect to children and childhood. Essential reading for all involved in the field.’

Valerie Walkerdine - Distinguished Research Professor, Cardiff University
