Fiachra Long explores the construction of childhood in today's society arguing that the postmodern child is exposed to the public world before its time and he explores the significance of this public\/ private shift.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIssues considered include education, appearance, space, empowerment, globality, tactility, talent, and visibility. After setting the context, each chapter uses a phenomenological approach to describe experiences common across computer-literate children today. Chapters draw on sources in the history of ideas to critique the situation described, provide a rich combination of educational and philosophical theory and apply some speculative concepts to the situation of children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fiachra Long\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472572033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472572035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.45d","brand":"Fiachra Long","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47200712589567,"sku":"9781472572035","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_85bf83f0-56f5-47b5-97f4-c03b63d8d821.jpg?v=1756787661","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/educating-the-postmodern-child-fiachra-long-9781472572035","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
