Children as Social Butterflies
Children as Social Butterflies examines how kindergarten children experience, negotiate, and claim belonging in a diverse and stigmatized Swiss neighborhood. Schools as formative instances of social belonging are particularly important where children with different migration histories are educated together. Childhood scholar Ursina Jaeger followed individual children in a kindergarten class from day one of their school enrollment and accompanied them to extracurricular activities, to ballet classes, to their children's rooms, to the social welfare office, or on family visits abroad. Based on data from several years of this child-centered and multisited research, Children as Social Butterflie...

Reconceptualising Agency and Childhood
By regarding children as actors and conducting empirical research on children’s agency, Childhood Studies have gained significant influence on a wide range of different academic disciplines. This has made agency one of the key concepts of Childhood Studies, with articles on the subject featured in handbooks and encyclopaedias. Reconceptualising Agency and Childhood is the first collection devoted to the central concept of agency in Childhood Studies. With contributions from experts in the field, the chapters cover theoretical, practical, historical, transnational and institutional dimensions of agency, rekindling discussion and introducing fundamental and contemporary sociological perspect...
Performativity, Materiality and Time
Focusing mainly on the tacit side of pedagogical practices entails not only a revision of instructional practices but also that of the existing theoretical approaches to educational practices and learning and a work on the methodology of empirical research in the Educational Sciences. In terms of this effort references to subjects, objects and given structures are replaced by the concepts performativity, materiality and time. In this volume the paradigm shift is applied to different educational fields, questions and methodologies, such as the performativity in imaginary, mediated and virtual spaces and other tacit subjects of learning, such as language education, the ethical implications of the adult-child differentiation, educational research on things and the mastery of university by the students.
Parents in the Spotlight
Children and parents have become a focus of debates on ‘new social risks’ in European welfare states. Policymaking elites have converged in defining such risks, and they have outlined new forms of parenting support to better safeguard children and activate their potential. Increasingly, parents are suspected of falling short of public expectations. Contributors to this special issue scrutinize this shift towards parenting as performance and analyse recent forms of parenting support.
Practicing the Family
How »family« is construed on a material and discursive level has gained increasing interest among educational and social work professionals. The contributors to this volume address that question in relation to the diverse everyday practices of »doing family« by its heterogeneous members. The contributions build a transdisciplinary bridge between research on family life on the one hand and research on the formatting of family in welfare state contexts on the other. Fundamental to this is a decentred and fluid understanding of family that conceives itself as a contested set of relational activities in people's everyday lives that are socially recognized as »familial«.
Knowledge, Normativity and Power in Academia
Despite its capacity to produce knowledge that can directly influence policy and affect social change, academia is still often viewed as a stereotypical ivory tower, detached from the tumult of daily life. Knowledge, Normativity, and Power in Academia argues that, in our current moment of historic global unrest, the fruits of the academy need to be examined more closely than ever. This collection pinpoints the connections among researchers, activists, and artists, arguing that--despite what we might think--the knowledge produced in universities and the processes that ignite social transformation are inextricably intertwined. Knowledge, Normativity, and Power in Academia provides analysis from both inside and outside the academy to show how this seemingly staid locale can still provide space for critique and resistance.
Relationships with Families in Early Childhood Education and Care
Relationships with Families in Early Childhood Education and Care radically challenges the role assigned to parents in neoliberal discussions of early childhood education and care, and presents new ways of thinking about relationships with families. With contributions from international early childhood scholars and practitioners, this book includes outlooks of practitioners, families and children, particularly about the meanings they assign to relationships. Bringing together key understandings about how parent-partnerships can be understood, this book provides innovative examples of how to enact democratic partnerships with parents in diverse contexts. Relationships with Families in Early Childhood Education and Care is an ideal text for ECEC practitioners and policy makers, trainers, graduate students and researchers.

Einrichten in der Normalität – Wie Kinder und Jugendliche in Großwohnsiedlungen wohnen
Das Buch “Einrichten in der Normalität” untersucht die komplexen Wohnrealitäten in den Großsiedlungen der Nachkriegszeit und fordert die vorherrschende negative Wahrnehmung in der öffentlichen Debatte heraus. Zugleich thematisiert es die zunehmende Relevanz von städtischen Großsiedlungen im Kontext urbaner Wohn(ungs)krisen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die oft übersehenen Erfahrungen von Kindern und Jugendlichen in diesen Siedlungen, wobei der Fokus auf der Diskrepanz zwischen den tatsächlichen Wohnpraxen junger Menschen und der unzureichenden Berücksichtigung ihrer Perspektiven in der Wohnungsplanung und -gestaltung liegt. Der Sammelband vereint verschiedene Text- und Bildformate von ...
Sozialistische Erziehung in der DDR
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2000 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Geschichte der Pädagogik, Note: gut, Universität Trier (Fachbereich Pädagogik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Aufgrund des Textes von Dieter E. Zimmer, welcher im Juli 1999 im Stern erschien, meiner Literaturrecherche und unserer Arbeit im Tutorium, habe ich für mich eine Perspektive gefunden, welche ich mit Hilfe meiner Hausarbeit bearbeiten möchte. Meine Perspektive lautet: "Inwiefern wurden die Kinder in der DDR zu treuen Sozialisten erzogen, um sich gegen den immer weiter ausbreitenden Kapitalismus zu behaupten? "Dazu möchte ich mich mit Erziehungszielen, Methoden und mit der Einbindung der Kinder in verschiedene Organisationen auseinandersetzen.
