- This chapter aims to show how politics are part of children’s everyday lifeworlds and their social spaces and everyday spatiality are interwoven by what is recognized as political discourses and behaviors. Based on a synthesis of research, this chapter illustrates three different examples of children’s politics in public space in which the material and discursive body plays a central role. In the first section, it is shown how children interpret and express feelings of exclusion and learn that there is a politics of injustice in public space and different bodies are treated and perceived differently, to which they also act upon. Children’s own experiences of exclusion shape their politicalsubjectivities. The second section focuses on spatial identity, how children understand and act on identities and discourses attached to different places, and how the children themselves ascribe narratives and identities to people living in specific places. The third section concentrates on how the body is central to the ways in which children negotiate and express their identity formation. It discusses how the physical body is used by children as a means of communicating political belonging, identity, and spatial belonging. These examples show how politics are entangled in how children use and perceive public spaces and that the practice of everyday life is important for how children form political subjectivities.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article discusses how professionals understand the theory and practice of children's participation in physical planning processes. Drawing on group discussions between Swedish professionals we analyse how children's participation is understood and negotiated, and why it is problematic to implement. The participants had difficulties in understanding the difference between participation and consultation, as well as recognising children as social actors with competences. We argue that while Swedish children have a strong position in society, they are excluded from planning processes due to the rigidity of the planning process, neoliberal influences and planners' lack of competence.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The mobile preschool, a form of preschool practice in a bus, is a new and growing phenomenon in Swedish preschool education. Combining theories of time-spatial organisation and mobility, we critically investigate the implications of transforming traditional stationary preschool practice into a mobile preschool. Our findings show that the social order of the mobile preschool is ‘being on the move’ and that the travelling shapes the time-spatial organisation, with major implications for daily routines and activities. In our analyses we show how constant travelling characterises the mobile preschool as a social practice with (i) logistics and choice of place prevailing over daily planning, (ii) creation of time and space for embodied habits, (iii) teachers as attendants and children as passengers, and (iv) walking in lines. However, mobility and time-spatial constraints are also co-constructed and intimately connected with the participants’ agency, since both children and teachers are actively ‘doing time’ and ‘creating space’ within the dominant structure of ‘being on the move’.
