The Pakistan Journal of Social Issues, Volume 3, 2012 Cultural and Economic Discourses on Child Labour Prof. Dr. Hafeez-ur-Rehman* and Muhammad Saifullah Chaudhry Department of Anthropology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad Cultural and economic discourses present two strands around the issue of child labour. These strands may have some common grounds, but in essence their analyses and interpretations differ. The cultural discourse contextualizes that norms, tradition and belief system determine child development practices; while the economic discourse does not go much beyond the family's poverty to explain the existence of child labour practices. Keywords: child labour; economic discourse; cultural discourse; poverty; education The role that families assign to children may vary from one culture to another; however, their wellbeing and the desire to prepare them for their future responsibilities remains a key concern for parents and societies. The manifestation of this desire and its interpretation differ in accordance with the cultural settings and socioeconomic conditions in which families find them. Poverty, coupled with cultural norms accepting and promoting children's responsibilities in the world of work, assigns multiple roles to children beyond education and play. Anthropologists as well as economists have tried to understand the phenomenon of a child's presence at the workplace. This paper presents the cultural discourse – that conceptualizes the phenomenon of child labour in terms of tradition – as well as the economic discourse – that conceptualizes it in terms of the family's poverty – regarding the social construct of child development. Since the two discourses overlap with each other, the focus is on understanding the phenomenon of child labour along with the factors responsible for it. Cultural Discourse on Child Labour The 20th century witnessed the rise of literature trying to understand child labour and its various manifestations. This literature has greatly shaped our generation's understanding about the nature of children's involvement in the world of work. Children perform a wide range of activities and tasks outside the school, the home and the playground. These activities and tasks can be categorized as acceptable and unacceptable forms of work, primarily on the basis of the child's *Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Prof. Dr. Hafeez-ur-Rehman,

  • Comic Performance in Pakistan the Bha¯ Nd
    PALGRAVE STUDIES IN COMEDY COMIC PERFORMANCE IN PAKISTAN THE BHA¯ ND CLAIRE PAMMENT Palgrave Studies in Comedy Series Editors Roger Sabin University of the Arts London London, United Kingdom Sharon Lockyer Brunel University London, United Kingdom Comedy is part of the cultural landscape as never before, as older manifes- tations such as performance (stand-up, plays, etc.), film and TV have been joined by an online industry, pioneered by YouTube and social media. This innovative new book series will help define the emerging comedy studies field, offering fresh perspectives on the comedy studies phenom- enon, and opening up new avenues for discussion. The focus is ‘pop cul- tural’, and will emphasize vaudeville, stand-up, variety, comedy film, TV sit-coms, and digital comedy. It will not cover humor in literature, comedy in ‘everyday life’, or the psychology of joke-telling. It will welcome studies of politics, history, aesthetics, production, distribution, and reception, as well as work that explores international perspectives and the digital realm. Above all it will be pioneering – there is no competition in the publishing world at this point in time.
