Governing the Child in the New Millennium

by Gunilla Dahlberg, Hultqvist Kenne, Kenneth Hultqvist

Book Overview

The contributors and editors of this volume begin from the assumption that the changes wrought by globalization compel us to reflect upon the status of the child and childhood at the end of the 20th century. Their essays consider what techniques and technologies are used to govern the child, what role the family plays, what is global and what is culturally specific in the changes, and how the subject is constructed and construed.
