Its purpose goes beyond mere interrogation of the discursive constructions surrounding and within these fields; it seeks to establish a platform for examining the intricate interplay between psychoanalysis and queer theory. Recognizing the profound generative potential that arises from their convergence, the chapters delve into a wide range of cultural, aesthetic, and historical manifestations that either directly address or implicitly evoke the queer aspects of childhood. Drawing from the rich tapestry of queer theory, psychoanalysis, anthropology, and gender studies, these chapters offer insightful perspectives on the diverse ways in which children's experiences shape and are shaped by their sexual orientations and temporalities. Through their multidisciplinary approach, the book sheds light on the complex interplay between identity, desire, and the social construction of childhood, providing a thought-provoking and enriching exploration of the multifaceted nature of queerness in the context of early life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 570g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781349952465\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103381025018,"sku":"9781349952465","price":93.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1659740997001_book.jpg?v=1659985379","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-queerness-of-childhood-essays-from-the-other-side-of-the-looking-glass-9781349952465","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
