Leo Ruickbie The Cultural Construction of Monstrous Children (Hardback)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: The Cultural Construction of Monstrous ChildrenCondition: NewDescription: The Cultural Construction of Monstrous Children raises important questions at the heart of society and culture, and through an interdisciplinary, trans-cultural analysis presents important findings on socio-cultural representations and embodiments of the child and childhood. At the start of the 21st, new anxieties constellate around the child and childhood, while older concerns have re-emerged, mutated, and grown stronger. But as historical analysis shows, they have been ever-present concerns. This innovative and interdisciplinary collection of essays considers examples of monstrous children since the 16th century to the present, spanning real-life and popular culture, to exhibit the manifestation of the Western cultural anxiety around the problematic, anomalous child as naughty, dangerous, or just plain evil. The book takes an inter- and multidisciplinary approach, drawing upon fields as diverse as sociology, psychology, film, and literature, to study the role of the child and childhood within contemporary Western culture and to see the historic ways in which each discipline intersects and influences the other.Author: Leo RuickbieContributor: Simon Bacon (Edited by), Leo Ruickbie (Edited by)Country/Region of Manufacture: GBEAN: 9781785275203Format: HardbackGenre: Society & CultureISBN: 9781785275203ISBN-10: 1785275208Item Height: 229mmItem Length: 153mmItem Weight: 454gItem Width: 26mmLanguage: EnglishPublisher: Anthem PressRelease Date: 09/30/2020Book Series: Anthem Studies in Gothic LiteratureSubtitle: Essays on Anomalous Children From 1595 to the Present DayTopic: Social SciencesRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
