Conclusion: Lived Childhoods
No full textThe conclusions highlight how the chapters of the collection can contribute to a deeper analysis of relevant issues also for future theoretical investigation, above all concerning children’s “real” lives, or “lived childhood”. These issues include a reflection on the variety of theoretical angles to analyse lived childhood and their possible combination; the impact of institutions on lived childhood; the meaning of the glocal dimension of lived childhood; the analysis of the different dimensions of lived childhood, such as gender, social class and ethnicity. The conclusion discusses the forms and conditions of lived childhood that are not visible in intergenerational relations, as they are constructed among children themselves. The conclusion offers the possibility of subverting the existing social and cultural presuppositions of childhood by elaborating the actual lived conditions and meanings of childhood in respect to their citizenship, rights and participation
Introduction: Lived Citizenship, Rights and Participation in Contemporary Europe
No full textThe introduction highlights the most important results of the theoretical approaches to citizenship rights and participation in Childhood Studies. Children’s citizenship is presented and recognition given to the fluidity of children’s citizenship identities and how this can be conceptually worked with. Our discussion of children’s rights moves away from simplistic notions of `rights and duties’ towards a critique of the normative frameworks of rights and a more layered approach considered. Children’s participation is considered particularly relevant in present societies, although critical voices have stressed the limits of political and societal efforts to enhance it. Agency is considered as a way of observing children’s active participation in social relations and social change. Agency is the result of both relational constraints and interactions with adults. The last part of the introduction presents the chapters included in the collection

The Right to Be Transnational: Narratives and Positionings of Children with a Migration Background in Italy
Get PDFThis chapter presents a social system and an interactional theoretical approach to explore how theorising children in sociology has moved beyond mere interest in children’s `voice’ to one where children practice agency and contribute to the structuring of social systems.
The article explores how children with migrant background play with narratives of transnational mobility, claiming a sort of transnational citizenship.
Reflecting on how children's citizenship and rights relate, and how are affected by transnational mobility, allows to focus on children's active participation in social processes.
Through Positioning theory and interaction analysis applied to video-recorded extracts of workshops, we aim to explore the resources children activate in the interaction to deal with their travelling experiences and to construct and negotiate their identities inside the group in an institutional setting
