Is childhood simply a metaphor for innocence, or something far more complex that encompasses agency, performance, and othering? \u003cem\u003eChildhood in Animation\u003c\/em\u003e focuses on key screen characters, such as DJ, Norman, Lilo, the Lost Boys, Marji, Parvana, Bluey, Kirikou, Robyn, Mebh, Cartman and Bart, amongst others, to see how they are represented within worlds of fantasy, separation, horror, politics, and satire, as well as viewing childhood itself through a philosophical, sociological, and global lens. Ultimately, this book navigates the rabbit hole of the âelsewhereâ to reveal the secret space of childhood, where anything (and everything) is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume will be of great interest to scholars and students of animation, childhood studies, film and television studies, and psychology and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52083938459991,"sku":"9780367758554","price":123.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780367758554.jpg?v=1762204418","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/childhood-in-animation-9780367758554","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
