Children in culture, revisited: further approaches to childhood

'Children in Culture, Revisited' follows on from the first volume, 'Children in Culture', and is composed of a range of chapters, newly written for this collection, which offer further fully inter- and multidisciplinary considerations of childhood as a culturally and historically constructed identity rather than a constant psycho-biological entity. KARIN LESNIK-OBERSTEIN is Professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Reading, UK. Recent publications include (as editor and contributor) 'The Last Taboo: Women and Body Hair' (2006) and the monograph 'On Having an Own Child: Reproductive Technologies and the Cultural Construction of Childhood' (2008).
