Call for Submissions for The American Child: A Cultural Studies Reader
This collection takes the recent critical renaissance in the study of
children and childhood as its focus, and, in a series of exemplary
essays, represents the child's current centrality to a wide range of
critical practices and methodologies. Despite burgeoning interest in
the child, to date there has been no collection of essays that
reflects current literary and cultural approaches to this rapidly
expanding field. Our planned anthology redresses this absence by
offering a compilation of essays that represents the wealth of new
work in the field and exemplifies the diverse ways in which the child
is newly understood in a wide range of critical practices.
We seek original essays that are Americanist in focus and in some way
address how the child operates as a conceptual or ideological force,
at any historical point from the nation's inception to the present
moment. Collectively the anthology will represent the methodological
and theoretical diversity that characterizes child studies in an
Americanist context. We, therefore, envision a collection that not
only cuts across centuries but also represents diverse critical
approaches to the topic.
