Description: |
In this title, the authors focus primarily on methods of researching children's popular culture as well as offering analyses of such phenomena as children's websites and the internet, and popular toys like Barbie. |
Synopsis: |
The place of childhood in popular culture is one that invites new readings both on childhood itself, but also on approaches to studying childhood. Discussing different methods of researching children's popular culture, they argue that the interplay of the age of the players, the status of their popular culture, the transience of the objects, and indeed the ephemerality - and long lastingness - of childhood, all contribute to what could be regarded as a particularized space for childhood studies - and one that challenges many of the conventions of "doing research" involving children. |
