Free Download Women and children first : feminism, rhetoric, and public policy By Patrice DiQuinzio; Sharon M. Meagher
2005 | 263 Pages | ISBN: 079146539X | PDF | 68 MB
The essays in this book analyze the rhetoric of a widerange of American and Canadian public policies that propose "to putwomen and children first." They uncover a logic of paternalistic treatmentof women and children that purports to protect them but almostalways also disempowers them and sometimes harms them. This logic iswidespread in contemporary policy discourse, and it affects how peopleunderstand, and respond to, those policies and the problems they aremeant to address. Cultural discourse shapes, and is shaped by, both academicand public policy discourses.

Free Download Transgender Children and Young People: Born in Your Own Body By Heather Brunskell-Evans (editor), Michele Moore (editor)
2018 | 245 Pages | ISBN: 1527503984 | PDF | 3 MB
This book is a collection of essays about the current theory and practice of transgendering children. Essays are written against the grain of the popularised medical definition of the transgender child as a young person whose true gender lies in the brain, or pre-social identity. Contributors contest this diagnosis from a range of social constructionist perspectives, including as social theorists, psychotherapists, persons living as transgender, individuals who regret having transitioned, and parents of adolescents identifying as transgender. They argue that medicine, social policy and the law discursively construct the transgender child, and contend that it is politics, not science, which accounts for the exponential rise in the number of children diagnosed as transgender by gender identity clinics. They conclude that todays medical and social trend for transgendering children is not liberal and progressive, but politically reactionary, physically and psychologically dangerous and abusive.

Free Download Children and the Good Life: New Challenges for Research on Children By Sabine Andresen, Isabell Diehm, Uwe Sander, Holger Ziegler (auth.), Sabine Andresen, Isabell Diehm, Uwe Sander, Holger Ziegler (eds.)
2011 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 9048192188 | PDF | 3 MB
Today, the challenge for Research on Children is the issue of the "good life". Discourses and the production of knowledge on the "good life" require a theoretical frame. This frame can be provided by various perspectives: the feminist ethic of care, the Human and Children’s Rights Convention, the idea of welfare, or the Capability Approach. The aim of this book is to answer the question of how we can define and measure a "good life" for children growing up in the modern world. The book discusses the cogency of universalistic theories and explores the potential contribution of research on children and the possible integration of children into the research process and debates on the "good life".The articles collected in this book reflect the state of the art in research and discussions on this topic. Written by researchers from different countries and with expertise in various disciplines, the articles present theoretical and methodological analyses as well as empirical reports.

Free Download Amie A. Doughty, "Royalty in Twenty-First Century Children’s and Young Adult Literature: Reshaping the Folktale and Disney Tradition"
English | ISBN: 1793627002 | 2023 | 172 pages | EPUB, PDF | 300 KB + 966 KB
Doughty examines contemporary children’s and young adult (YA) literature featuring royal characters through a folkloric lens and shows different ways authors transform the traditional royal characters from folktales and Disney films. She shows how princes and princesses are more progressive than their predecessors through expanding gender roles. She also demonstrates how different types of abdication work to transform readers’ expectations of royals and how they reach a happy ending different from traditional folktales and Disney. Finally, employing Rudine Sims Bishop’s ideas about mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors, she explores how queer royals and royals of color offer new mirrors for children and young adults. Each chapter presents a typology of royal books related to the topic and explains how they work to transform the folktale tradition. Doughty concludes with a discussion of the transformational gaps remaining in royal children’s and YA literature.
