The Future of the Nineteenth-Century Dream-Child Fantasy Dystopia Cyberculture

The Future of the Nineteenth-Century Dream-Child Fantasy Dystopia Cyberculture

This book investigates the reappearance of the 19th-century dream-child from the Golden Age of Children's Literature both in the Harry Potter series and in other works that have reached unprecedented levels of popular success today. Discussing Harry Potter as a reincarnation of Lewis Carroll's Alice and J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan Billone goes on to examine the recent resurrection of Alice in Tim Burton's Alice and of Peter Pan in Michael Jackson and in James Bond. Visiting trends that have emerged since the Harry Potter series ended the book studies revisions of the dream-child in texts and films that have inspired mass fandom in the twenty-first century: Stephenie Meyer's Twilight E. L. James's 50 Shades of Grey and Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games. The volume argues that the 21st-century desire to achieve dream-states in relationship to eternal youth results from the way that dreams provide a means of realizing the fantastic yet alarming possibility of escaping from time. This current identification with the dream-child stems from the threat of political unrest and economic and environmental collapse as well as from the simultaneous technophilia and technophobia of a culture immersed in the breathless revolution of the digital age. This book not only explores how the dream-child from the past has returned to reflect misgivings about imagined dystopian futures but also reveals how the rebirth of the dream-child opens up possibilities for new narratives where happy endings remain viable against all odds. It will appeal to scholars in a wide variety of fields including Childhood Studies Children's/YA Literature Cinema Studies Cultural Studies Cyberculture Gender Studies Queer Studies Gothic Studies New Media and Popular Culture. | The Future of the Nineteenth-Century Dream-Child Fantasy Dystopia Cyberculture

The Development of Child Protection Law and Policy Children Risk and Modernities

The Development of Child Protection Law and Policy Children Risk and Modernities

This book examines how child protection law has been shaped by the transition to late modernity and how it copes with the ever-changing concept of risk. The book traces the evolution of the contemporary child protection system through historical changes assessing the factors that have influenced the development of legal responses to abuse over a 130-year period. It does so by focussing on the Republic of Ireland where child protection has become emblematic of wider social change. The work draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources including legislation case law and official and media reports of child protection inquiries. It also utilises insights developed through an extensive examination of parliamentary debates on child protection matters. These materials are assessed through the lens of critical discourse analysis to explore the relationship between law social policy and social theory as they effect child protection. While the book utilises primarily Irish sources this multidisciplinary approach ensures the argument has international applicability. The book will be a valuable resource for all those with an interest in the development of child protection law. | The Development of Child Protection Law and Policy Children Risk and Modernities

Lacanian Psychoanalysis between the Child and the Other Exploring the Cultures of Childhood

Lacanian Psychoanalysis between the Child and the Other Exploring the Cultures of Childhood

Lacanian Psychoanalysis between the Child and the Other explores what topology can contribute to clinical work with children emphasizing that psychoanalytic listening goes beyond the individuals who attend a session. This kind of listening does not seek for what is hidden inside; rather it seeks to create a continuous topological transformation with topology regarded as the most sophisticated way in which structure structuring and playing can be thought. Using Lacan’s theoretical framework the book provides a new perspective on working with children re-examining fundamental Lacanian concepts such as structure subject lack Other clinic and of course child itself. It charts how time and space are knitted together for children in psychoanalysis and how a Lacanian approach can enable clinical practitioners and researchers to venture into cultures of childhood helping them conceptualize and intervene in the process of knitting and unknotting. The book will be of interest to psychoanalytic child clinicians in practice and training as well as researchers in the field of child psychoanalysis. | Lacanian Psychoanalysis between the Child and the Other Exploring the Cultures of Childhood

The Psychoanalyst and the Child From the Consultation to Psychoanalytic Treatment

The Psychoanalyst and the Child From the Consultation to Psychoanalytic Treatment

The Psychoanalyst and the Child explores the unique nature of psychoanalytic work with children. This book is based on more than 30 years of practice and reflection within the framework of the Alfred Binet Centre in Paris France. The very great diversity of situations encountered at the Centre brings the issue of therapeutic indications to the forefront. Michel Ody focuses on the diversification of fifteen clinical situations and their theorization ranging from basic consultation to psychoanalytic treatment. With this framework as his starting-point he looks at the common features between the therapeutic consultation – a consultation that becomes therapeutic – and the analytic treatment as well as what differentiates them. This implies examining at the technical level the different forms of interventions and interpretations presented as well as their metapsychological articulation. Ody draws on decades of clinical expertise to set out not just the basic considerations and problems typically encountered in work with this patient group but clear guidelines for methodology and technique. Psychoanalysis can be an intellectual process dependent on the ability of the patient to express themselves verbally which can make working clinically with children challenging. The Psychoanalyst and the Child seeks to help psychoanalysts through the most challenging of clinical treatments with this patient group. | The Psychoanalyst and the Child From the Consultation to Psychoanalytic Treatment

First published in 1923 this book explores the impact on development that heredity and environment has on children.

Child Trafficking in the EU Policing and Protecting Europe’s Most Vulnerable

The Lost Child Complex in Australian Film Jung Story and Playing Beneath the Past

The Lost Child Complex in Australian Film Jung Story and Playing Beneath the Past

The mythologising of lost and abandoned children significantly influences Australian storytelling. In The Lost Child Complex in Australian Film Terrie Waddell looks at the concept of the ‘lost child’ from a psychological and cultural perspective. Taking an interdisciplinary Jungian approach she re-evaluates this cyclic storytelling motif in history literature and the creative arts as the nucleus of a cultural complex – a group obsession that as Jung argued of all complexes has us. Waddell explores ‘the lost child’ in its many manifestations as an element of the individual and collective psyche historically related to the trauma of colonisation and war and as key theme in Australian cinema from the industry’s formative years to the present day. The films discussed in textual depth transcend literal lost in the bush mythologies or actual cases of displaced children to focus on vulnerable children rendered lost through government and institutional practices and adult/parental characters developmentally arrested by comforting or traumatic childhood memories. The victory/winning fixation governing the USA – diametrically opposed to the lost child motif – is also discussed as a comparative example of the mesmerising nature of the cultural complex. Examining iconic characters and events such as the Gallipoli Campaign and Trump’s presidency and films such as The Babadook Lion and Predestination this book scrutinises the way in which a culture talks to itself about itself. This analysis looks beyond the melancholy traditionally ascribed to the lost child by arguing that the repetitive and prolific imagery that this theme stimulates can be positive and inspiring. The Lost Child Complex in Australian Film is a unique and compelling work which will be highly relevant for academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian ideas cultural studies screen and media studies. It will also appeal to Jungian psychotherapists and analytical psychologists as well as readers with a broader interest in Australian history and politics. | The Lost Child Complex in Australian Film Jung Story and Playing Beneath the Past
