36/Age as Discourse

 

 

Main Index®Index Volume 3 ® Bibliography 36

 

Compiler’s Notes:

 

“Age is a social construction”. “Age is discourse”. “Age is performance”. “Age is politics”. These notions have been of interest in project Growing Up Sexually. Personally I am interested in the ethnohistorical contingency of age, in terms of chronometric and chronocentric ramifications of, for instance, “the child” or “the sexual subject”. This bibliography is a very preliminary inventory of writings that invest in these propositions. More references to be added. In the mean time, one might consider the bibliography given in an Emory University syllabus on Socialization, Society, and the Life Course. One might also want to consult a 2002 bibliography on Kindheit im Mittelalter (mirror) by Tatjana Horn, and another on History of Childhood by Margaret L. King.

 

Note: this bibliography may be updated monthly.
