This collection applies the characterisations of children and childhood made in Deleuze and Guattari‘s work to concerns that have shaped our idea of the child. Bringing together established and new voices, the authors cover philosophy, literature, religious studies, education, sociology and film studies. They consider aspects of children's lives such as time, language, gender, affect, religion, atmosphere and schooling. As a whole, this book critically interrogates the pervasive interest in the teleology of upward growth of the child.
This timely new book frees the affective play of childhood from the conceptual persona of the child, reminding readers that the age of childhood never passes. Herein lies a strategy, reiterated on every page, for the invention of new social and political worlds grounded in the praxis of the becoming-child. * Cameron Duff, RMIT University *
With pleasing rigour and sly provocation, this essential volume frees the child from Oedipal jail. The child now boldly, and no less beautifully, lucidly sits in radical hands. * Kathryn Bond Stockton, University of Utah *
