Bücher von Kate Cregan

A critical exploration of the constructions of childhood across the social sciences. It questions common global Northern conceptions of childhood and children by providing a wider lens through which to challenge inherent Eurocentrism.

Through an analysis, this book contextualizes the work of the key theorists and texts that have been influential in refocusing our gaze on human embodiment. It provides a critical evaluation of the work of Elias, Aries, Foucault, Bourdieu, Mary Douglas, Kristeva, Butler, Haraway and Bordo.
