This book is the result of a long movement of ideas and practices between Brazil
and Germany. It brings together different research methodologies (discourse
analysis, case studies, cross-cultural comparison, and action and practice-
research) and studies innovative theoretical approaches and childhood-related
practices that question present power relations and open up new ways of dealing
with emerging phenomena in the fields of school and educational policy as well
as in home-rearing, therapeutic, and community practices. A series of critical
case-studies and examples of radically innovative educational, media and
therapeutic practices and community-based interventions are presented, all of
which demonstrate the transformative powers of collective subjectivities in the
making of the history of childhood and youth and of society in general. The
studies presented in this volume also illustrate the role cultural-historical and
qualitative childhood research may play in this “making of history”. With an
introduction by M. Kontopodis and chapters by: I. Behnken, M. Benites, F.
Camerini, M. Damiani, B. Fichtner, F. Liberali, A. Lopes, M. Mascia, I. S. Soares,
H. Winkler, and W. Wörster.
