Infos

This book is the result of a long movement of ideas and practices between Braziland Germany. It brings together different research methodologies (discourseanalysis, case studies, cross-cultural comparison, and action and practice-research) and studies innovative theoretical approaches and childhood-relatedpractices that question present power relations and open up new ways of dealingwith emerging phenomena in the fields of school and educational policy as wellas in home-rearing, therapeutic, and community practices. A series of criticalcase-studies and examples of radically innovative educational, media andtherapeutic practices and community-based interventions are presented, all ofwhich demonstrate the transformative powers of collective subjectivities in themaking of the history of childhood and youth and of society in general. Thestudies presented in this volume also illustrate the role cultural-historical andqualitative childhood research may play in this "making of history". With anintroduction by M. Kontopodis and chapters by: I. Behnken, M. Benites, F.Camerini, M. Damiani, B. Fichtner, F. Liberali, A. Lopes, M. Mascia, I. S. Soares,H. Winkler, and W. Wörster.
