Overview

Navigating through classical Chinese fiction, Shakespearean characters, the arts, consumer society, psychoanalysis, evolutionary theories, interactions with computers at work, toy play, or law courts, this book provides a better understanding of the concept of childlikeness and highlights its continuing negotiation given its capacity to symbolize the character of our societies, notably our roles and degree of freedom within these roles.
