Learning unit contents
The course offers an introduction to the anthropology of childhood, youth and education and their links to general anthropology in different traditions. We shall look at the history of these fields by focusing on different themes and/or approaches (categories and concepts of childhood, youth and education, social and symbolic construction of the person, development, daily life, marginalised children and youth, child and youth cultures, institutions, concept of "agency", etc.) in light of work conducted in different societies both in the South and the North.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Students will have acquired good historical knowledge of these fields and the reasons why they have developed differently worldwide. Through examples studied in class, as well as conferences and reading, they will know how to develop an anthropological position in the field of childhood, youth and education and introduce the issue of childhood and youth in any anthropological work. They will also be able to carry out ethnographic fieldwork, and reconstruct and analyse the ethnographic data produced during the fieldwork using the theoretical tools of the anthropology of childhood and general anthropology, in the form of a scientific paper.
