  • Toys & Stories
    Childhood Memories Part One: Toys & Stories History | Health | Happiness Let’s Reminisce: Our Childhoods Every single one of us has unique and special memories of our formative childhood years. This booklet will help remind us of this magical time of adventure, exploration and fun. We will look at Toys, Comic Books, Nursery Rhymes and Schools across generations, because it’s interesting to share and compare our childhood experiences with that of others. You will find a mixture of puzzles throughout the booklet for a bit of fun but also as an opportunity to reflect on the memories that were important to you. We would also love to hear about your own childhood experiences and ask that you email [email protected] with anything you might like to share. Childhood Our own childhood experiences are shaped by factors such as location, education, expectation, responsibility and conflict. For example, the experiences of Roman children were very different from the children born today. Throughout history our experiences of childhood have been shaped by various influences, in classrooms, factory floors, mines, family homes, orphanages, battlefields, in front of television sets and so on. Over the last 200 years we have seen significant transformations that have taken place surrounding children’s lives, in the ways they are thought about, and how they are treated. For example, a hundred years ago, a twelve-year-old working in a factory in Britain would have been perfectly acceptable. Now, it would cause social services' intervention, causing both the parents and factory owner to face charges of exploitation and neglect.

  • 1 Childhood and the Mediatization of Marketing, 1955-1965 David Buckingham This Essay Is Part of a Larger Project, Growing up Mo
    Childhood and the mediatization of marketing, 1955-1965 David Buckingham This essay is part of a larger project, Growing Up Modern: Childhood, Youth and Popular Culture Since 1945. More information about the project, and illustrated versions of all the essays can be found at: https://davidbuckingham.net/growing-up-modern/. In the twenty first century, there has been growing concern about the phenomenon of marketing to children. Campaigners argue that childhood has become inexorably commercialised: children today are subject to a growing barrage of advertising and marketing, using ever more sophisticated techniques. In recent years, there has been legislation to restrict the advertising of particular types of products to children – most notably so-called ‘junk food’. There are also ongoing efforts to regulate more covert and deceptive forms of marketing in online and social media. However, the topic also raises much broader concerns: the apparent ‘commercialisation’ of childhood is seen by some as a kind of corruption of its fundamental innocence and purity; while others regard it as an instance of consumer capitalism at its most rapacious and unprincipled. In this respect, the anxiety about marketing to children appears to unite conservatives and political radicals in a nostalgic yearning for a ‘golden age’ in which childhood was apparently untainted by commercial forces.1 However, this is not a new issue. There is a long history of marketing to children, which can be traced back well into the nineteenth century; and campaigns to restrict and regulate it, while they are more recent, also date back several decades.2 In this essay, I focus on a particular period – between the mid-1950s and mid-1960s – when there appeared to be a step change in marketing to children.

  • Up the Hill with Jack and Jill
    UP THE HILL WITH JACK AND JILL: THE SOCIAL REPRODUCTION OF INTERSECTIONAL COMMUNITIES A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by CiAuna F. Heard May 2020 Examining Committee Members: Matt Wray, Ph.D., Advisory Chair, Sociology Michelle Byng, Ph.D., Sociology Judith Levine, Ph.D., Sociology Patricia A. Banks, Ph.D., External Reader, Mount Holyoke College © Copyright 2020 by CiAuna F. Heard All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This study is an investigation into the ways that intersectional social actors conceptualize their position as raced, classed, and gendered, and how they seek to pass down identity categories, cultural frames, and behavioral habits to their children. In particular, it is an examination of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. (“Jack and Jill”) as an intersectional social club, which seeks to socialize upper-middle class black youth into the habits that this community sees as legitimate and productive in modern society. Using interview, archival, and focus group data, this project analyzes the discursive frames of current club members, former child participants, and documentary evidence from historical correspondence. This project seeks to respond to racial formation and social reproduction scholarship by interrogating the ways that parents articulate the meanings of race, class, and gender, the ways such meanings are engaged by Jack and Jill, as a legitimating organization, and the absorption or internalization of such meanings by young people. It asks three questions to examine such mechanisms: 1) How do intersectional social actors talk about race, class and gender? 2) How do such community members engage social reproduction strategies that highlight their unique race and class positions? 3) How do recipients (children) rearticulate those messages and indicate their absorption or rejection of those norms? I find that discourse around race frames blackness as a salient social stigma, despite socioeconomic privilege.
