"This book brings together analytic approaches from childhood studies, sociology, cultural studies and development studies to illustrate the different ways in which the concept of the; "The 'poor child' at the centre of development activity is often measured against and reformed towards an idealised and globalised child subject. This book examines why such normative discourses of childhood are in need of radical revision and explores how development research and practice can work to 'unsettle' the global child. It engages the cultural politics of childhood - a politics of equality, identity and representation - as a methodological and theoretical orientation that opens up for discussion the multiple ways that education, poverty and development bear on the 'poor child'. This book brings multiple disciplinary perspectives, including cultural studies, sociology, and film studies, into conversation with development studies and development education in order to provide new ways of approaching and conceptualising the 'poor child'. Research draws on a range of methodological frames - such as poststructuralist discourse analysis, arts based research, ethnographic studies and textual analysis - to unpack the hidden assumptions about children within development discourses. Chapters in this book reveal the diverse ways in which the notion of childhood is understood and enacted in different national settings and through different cultural, policy, and educational practices, exploring the complex constitution of children's lives - materially, culturally, and educationally. With a focus on children's experiences and voices, the volume shows how children themselves are challenging the representation and material conditions of their lives. The 'Poor Child' will be of particular interest to postgraduate students and scholars working in the fields of childhood studies, international and comparative education, and development studies"--Provided by publisher.
