OverviewThis book locates internally focused, critical perspectives regarding the social, political, emotional, and mental growth of children. Through the radical openness afforded by psychoanalytic and related frameworks, the goal of this volume is to illuminate, promote, and help situate subjectivities that are often blotted out for both the child and society. Developmental and linear assumptions and hegemonies are called into question. Chapters address the challenges involved in working with children who have experienced traumas of dis-location that do not fit neatly into normative theories of development The emphasis is on motifs of lostness and foundness, in terms of the geographies of the psycho-social, and how such motifs govern and regulate what have come to count as the normative indexes of childhood as well as how they exclude other real childhoods. What is ‘lost’ in childhood finds its way into narratives of loss in adult functioning and these narratives are of interest since they allow us to re-theorize ideas of child, family, and society. To that end, these essays focus in and on dissociated places and moments across varied childhood(s).

Negotiating Agency in the Formation of Subjectivity: The Child, the Parental Other, and the Sovereign Other Michael O’Loughlin About the ContributorsReviewsThis is a beautiful book about the exigencies of childhood across the globe. I found myself captivated by tales that took me from discarded children's clothing in the UK, through the complex investments of North American childhoods to border crossings, migrations, refugees, to comings and goings in different moments in history. Thus, any sense of theorizing 'Childhood' with a capital C for this reader at least, was utterly dispelled by the thoughtfulness of the 'being with' that comes from a psychoanalytic sensibility. --Valerie Walkerdine, Cardiff University This welcome collection challenges long-held normative assumptions about the development of children. Taking us to locations as various as New Zealand, the El Paso border, 'nowhereness', the times of liminality, the 'pause' in the pandemic. This excellent book opens our eyes to diverse ways of investigating and perceiving the experiences, narratives, losses, transitions, and traumas of childhoods that have heretofore been marginalized. --Stephanie Swales, University of Dallas While the subject that emerges in particular moments of a treatment is marked by timelessness, the child or adolescent is a developmental being who is steeped in a particular time and place. For Freud the intrusion of the 'accidents of history'--are moments of crisis that can be crushing, but which also offer the chance of a new foundation. This collection bring to life such times of crisis rooted in authors' specific cultural, historical, and geographical contexts. --Michael Gerard Plastow, psychoanalyst and child psychiatrist This is a beautiful book about the exigencies of childhood across the globe.
