1.	Aarsand, Pål André (author) Computer- and Video games in Family Life : The digital divide as a resource in intergenerational interactions 2007 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 14:2, s. 235-256 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract In this ethnographic study of family life, intergenerational video and computer game activities were videotaped and analysed. Both children and adults invoked the notion of a digital divide, i.e. a generation gap between those who master and do not master digital technology. It is argued that the digital divide was exploited by the children to control the game activities. Conversely, parents and grandparents positioned themselves as less knowledgeable, drawing on a displayed divide as a rhetorical resource for gaining access to playtime with the children. In these intergenerational encounters, the digital divide was thus an interactional resource rather than a problem.
2.	Aarsand, Pål Andre, 1970-, et al. (author) Computer gaming and territorial negotiations in family life 2009 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 16:4, s. 497-517 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article examines territorial negotiations concerning gaming, drawing on video recordings of gaming practices in middle-class families. It explores how private vs public gaming space was co-construed by children and parents in front of the screen as well as through conversations about games. Game equipment was generally located in public places in the homes, which can be understood in terms of parents' surveillance of their children, on the one hand, and actual parental involvement, on the other. Gaming space emerged in the interplay between game location, technology and practices, which blurred any fixed boundaries between public and private, place and space, as well as traditional age hierarchies.
3.	Andreasson, Fredrik, et al. (author) Jocular language practices in young boys' performances of romantic relationships within their local peer culture 2022 In: Childhood. - : Sage Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 29:4, s. 593-611 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Based on ethnographic fieldwork, we explore how boys use jocular play to perform romantic relationships in their peer culture and construction of masculinities. The analysis combines an ethnomethodological approach to doing gender with poststructuralist-influenced studies on masculinity and boyhood. We demonstrate how the boys - through game-playing, teasing, humorous narration, and ritual insults - do gender while they explore potentially embarrassing romantic experiences. The boys police and produce acceptable heterosexual masculinities while having fun and doing friendship, demonstrating the dynamic and entertaining potentials of performing romantic relationships in jocular peer play.

(author) The ignored citizen: Young children’s subjectivities in Swedish and English early childhood education settings 2016 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 23:4 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article looks at examples of young children acting as citizens and aims to illuminate these by utilising Biesta’s exposition of subjectification and socialisation conceptions of citizenship. Specifically, the article applies the concepts of ‘dissensus’, taken from Rancière’s work; ‘agonism’, taken from Mouffe’s work; and solidarity from Levinas’ work to actual ‘scenes’ from Swedish and English early childhood education settings. It also discusses these in relation to other contemporary work on concepts of children’s citizenship and our own theories of young children’s play.

(author) Friends through school and family : Refugee girls’ talk about friendship formation 2020 In: Childhood. - : Sage Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 27:4, s. 530-544 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article explores refugee girls’ talk about friendship formation. Friendship is a complex process and a subjective experience. The study participants stressed similarity and cultural affinity as important criteria of forming friendships. Those who attended schools with a mixture of students described their native peers as having different temperaments and interests. Relatives were referred to as being best friends who one could trust and confide in. This suggests the need for a broad conceptualisation of friendship in research and practice.
7.	Bodén, Linnea, 1981-, et al. (author) Advancing feminist relationality in childhood studies 2023 In: Childhood. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 30:4, s. 471-486 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Relationality has become central to Childhood Studies and even described as its ontological ground. Feminist theories offer articulate theorizing on relationalities, yet feminist ideas of relationality have not had a significant impact on Childhood Studies. Through focusing on feminist notions of corporeal specificity, sexual-temporal difference and asymmetry, and transcorporeality, this paper argues that feminist theorizations open up a space to engage with childhood and children’s lives as not only relational or entangled, but as inevitably imbricated in relations of power.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This paper focuses on art productions by children participating in an art-based wellbeing intervention project in Kashmir. Drawing on feminist security studies, we conducted narrative analysis to explore how children represent in/security. The locations of in/security were the environment, the body, and the socio-political realm. Children articulated nuanced and complex representations of the natural and social world, influenced by local and global forces, and created their own meanings and practices of in/security.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This study explores the ‘sex-map’, a didactic object developed in Sweden. The analysis focuses on teacher guidelines and an animated movie for classroom use and how the sex-map becomes a method for emphasizing students as actors in defining sexuality. Building on Mol’s notion of ontonorms, the emphasis is on ways in which the ontology of young sexuality is associated with arguments about what is ‘good’ in and for sex education. The sex-map incorporates ideal students’ experiences, discoveries, and positive feelings. Via students, a critique is mounted against one-path sexuality, underscoring the importance of ‘good’ non-hierarchical sexuality as exemplary sex education.
10.	Childhood: Special issue, Child rights governance 2019. - vol 26 In: Childhood. - Sage : Sage. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. Editorial collection (peer-reviewed)abstract In this special issue, we explore child rights governance as the intersection between the study of governance and the study of children, childhood, and children’s rights. Our introduction puts forward a set of theoretical points of departure for the study of child rights governance, engaging with scholarship on human rights, international relations, history, and governance. It links the individual contributions to this special issue with four central dimensions of child rights governance, namely: temporality, spatiality, subjectivity, and normativity.

Eckert, Gisela (author) 'If I tell them then I can' - Ways of relating to adult rules 2004 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 11:1 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article explores how Swedish children relate to adult discussions and rules concerning children's play and television habits. It is argued that the children interviewed are well aware of adult ideas concerning children, TV and play. In accounting for these rules, the children present themselves as regulated by adults, but also as valuable to their parents. A closer look at the accounts reveals that the children sometimes oppose the descriptions imposed on them and are able to argue against the perceived adult opinion. It is important to point out, however, that the children broadly express a trust in adults and their judgements.

(author) Standardized individual therapy : The case of Danish therapeutic residential institutions for children 2009 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 16:2, s. 265-282 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article explores a paradox that was identified during an ethnographic study of two Danish therapeutic residential institutions for children with emotional and behavioural problems. The key objective of these institutions is to provide specialized treatment for the individual child. However, the task of organizing everyday life for a group of troubled children is so demanding that little room is left for individualization. In practice, treatment takes the shape of a rather standardized package. Analysing individual treatment as a powerful kind of `institutional thinking', the authors delve into the meaning of an apparent contradiction in terms: standardized individual therapy.

(author) Teaching nature and nation in the Swedish mobile preschool 2024 In: Childhood. - : Sage Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 31:1, s. 13-29 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Ideas of nature, nation and childhood are intertwined in Nordic early childhood education. We explore in ethnographic data the ways nature is taught in Swedish mobile preschools. We show how everyday nationalism manifests in the teaching practices of ‘good’ pedagogy in nature. We argue that depending on who is teaching and learning, various constructions of nationhood emerge enabling the re-imagination of a single national imaginary to a plural one.
15.	Eldén, Sara (author) Inviting the messy: Drawing methods and 'children's voices' 2013 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 20:1, s. 66-81 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article engages with the current debate in childhood research on children’s voices and representation in the research process. In this discussion, the frequent use of drawing techniques in childhood research is often highlighted as especially problematic. While agreeing that there is a need to critically examine the concept of ‘children’s voices’ and the production of ‘voices’ in research, the author argues for the possibility of and need for reflexive and creative research enabling the ‘voicing’ of others – such as children – and the possibilities of a sociological analysis of drawing methods. The argument is elaborated with a presentation and discussion of a current research project on children and care in Sweden. The author discusses two of the methods used in interviews with children – a draw-your-day exercise and concentric circles of closeness – which together help the child and the researcher narrativize practices and relationships of care that would otherwise be obscured. While the narratives that emerge cannot be viewed as providing ‘authentic’ insights into the caring situation of the child, they can be regarded as contributing to a more complex and multi-layered picture of care, which is a valuable contribution to the research field of family and interpersonal relationships.
16.	Elfström Pettersson, Katarina, 1959- (author) Children's participation in preschool documentation practices 2015 In: Childhood. - : Sage Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 22:2, s. 231-247 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract The Swedish preschool curriculum not only prescribes documentation and quality assessment, it also requires children’s participation in the documentation process, although it offers no directions on how the documenting should be done, which can leave teachers unsure of how to do it. This study differs from research that presents pedagogical documentation as a way of enabling children’s participation in preschool in that it explores children’s participation in producing different forms of documentation in a Swedish preschool – and it finds that such participation is complex. The findings imply that, whether documentation is activity-integrated or retrospective, different forms of participation are possible.
17.	Ericsson, Stina, 1972, et al. (author) Children’s ongoing and relational negotiation of informed assent in child–researcher, child–child and child–parent interaction 2017 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 24:3, s. 300-315 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Contemporary considerations of childhood research ethics recognize children’s competence and agency, their rights to be informed about research and their capabilities to negotiate participation. There is also a recognition of children’s assent as ongoing and formed in the relationship with the researcher. Drawing on two different data sets, we investigate information and assent as they appear in child–researcher, child–child and child–parent interactions. We argue for the need to pay attention to participants’ own meaning-making with regard to informed assent, and show how the presence or non-presence of the researcher in data collection may affect information and assent.
18.	Eriksson, Maria, et al. (author) Participation in family law proceedings for children whose father is violent to their mother 2008 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 15:2, s. 259-275 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article examines the opportunities and obstacles for vulnerable and victimised children’s participation in family law proceedings. With the help of a set of interviews with children, a framework for the analysis of vulnerable and victimised children’s participation is outlined in dialogue with, on the one hand, the childhood studies debates concerning children’s participation and, on the other hand, the contemporary debates about children as victims of crime when exposed to men’s violence to women in their family. We argue that participation can be viewed as central not simply to a rights perspective on children, but also to a care perspective.

20.	Evaldsson, Ann-Carita (author) Throwing like a girl? Situating gender differences in physicality across game contexts 2003 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 10:4, s. 475-497 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This study explores interaction in same-sex and cross-sex foursquare games, and, in particular, how throwing (and talk) are adjusted along with diverse configurations of players. The game was played among girls and boys with immigrant backgrounds (Syrian, Kurdish, Chilean) from low-income families in a multiethnic school setting in Sweden. The study investigates girls' physicality across various game contexts, finding that as the configuration of players shifts, the forms of bodily actions the girls invoke to construct social identities shift as well. The girls used slams - ways of throwing that require force and muscular strength, physical behaviour that is not conventionally seen as part of femininity. The same girls altered throwing (and language) style, 'throwing like a girl', to downplay physical skills with less skilled girls. In cross-sex games, the girls (and the boys) playfully mock challenged gender meanings such as boys' domination and girls' subordination. The fact that the girls studied here were not restricted in physicality (or spatiality) indicates that there is considerable variation in female physicality. Overall, the findings underscore that studies of girls' (and boys') physicality should be grounded in detailed analyses of interaction in specific game contexts, with attention to cultural and institutional frameworks embedded in the games.
21.	Fernqvist, Stina (author) Redefining participation? : On the positioning of children in Swedish welfare benefits appeals 2011 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 18:2, s. 227-241 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article deals with the representation of children in the Swedish welfare state, and particularly how children and parents living in economic hardship are positioned in issues regarding financial aid. According to Article 12 in the UNCRC, children have a right to be heard 'in any judicial and administrative proceedings affecting the child'. However, children are not participants in processes concerning welfare benefits, despite the effect that the outcome of these processes may have on children's everyday life. Using welfare benefits appeals as a starting point, the article argues that the impact of the centrality of work discourse in Swedish welfare policy further emphasizes children's position as passive and non-participants in the welfare discourse.
22.	Francia, Guadalupe, 1961-, et al. (author) Children's rights and violence : A case analysis at a Swedish boarding school 2017 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 24, s. 51-67 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Drawing on the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the article highlights various conceptions of violence at a Swedish boarding school and is based on a critical discourse analysis of different educational and media documents. The investigation indicates that ambitions to protect childrenfrom violence need to overcome the dichotomy of private and public in order to protect children affected by violence in the borderland between the private and public spheres.

(author) The child as a gendered rights holder 2020 In: Childhood. - : Sage Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 27:2, s. 143-157 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract In this article, we call for a gendering of children’s rights by using an intersectional approach. First, age and gender in different theoretical frameworks are highlighted. Second, we demonstrate the interconnection of age and gender in United Nations human rights treaties and interpretation guidance. Third, current gendered rights issues are identified and new ones are proposed. Finally, we argue that further gendering of children’s rights is necessary to acknowledge issues relating to children with different gender, sexual orientations and ethnicities.

Göransson, Kristina (author) Play with a purpose: Intensive parenting, educational desires and shifting notions of childhood and learning in twenty-first century Singapore 2023 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 30:1 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article examines how Singaporean parents negotiate complex expectations in relation to current reforms aimed at raising creative and problem-solving children. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, the article explores how ideas of brain-claiming, resilience, and natural exposure shape parenting practices around young children’s learning. The findings suggest that parents’ sentiments of uncertainty and guilt in relation to their children’s future are entwined with and fueled by a deep-rooted narrative of national survival, reproduced in the form of 21st century skills.
25.	Haavind, Hanne, et al. (author) "Because nobody likes Chinese girls” : Intersecting identities and emotional experiences of subordination and resistance in school life 2015 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Open. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 22:3, s. 300-315 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract How do emotions enter into children’s negotiated understandings and situated uses of categories of identity? This question guided a revisit to an ethnographic study of a multi-cultural context in Oakland, California. A focus group discussion among four Chinese American girls just graduating from elementary school and an interviewer, also Chinese American, was chosen for closer study. This secondary analysis focuses on how the girls engaged in school events and how in the interview they shared experiences of being excluded and rejected by peers. Thus, both reports about life in school and lived life in the group discussion were analyzed in ways that followed the girls’ individual and collective emotional dynamics. Emotional tension between using and being used by categories drove their stories about belonging, exclusion and subordination, and resistance. The girls’ handling of social identities in relation to language use, required activities, and girly appearance in school demonstrated how they were able to draw on an eclectic and intersecting mix of categories. In the containing setting of the focus group, the girls processed their raw emotional experience of being taunted and humiliated. In the process they could challenge and destabilize the meanings attached to the categories of identity used against them. Therefore, intersectional analyses cannot take any specific meanings of social categories such as gender, ethnicity/race, and age, as the starting points. Rather, in each specific instance, the meanings of social categories will emerge as the results of the analysis.

Hagquist, Curt (author) Socioeconomic differences in smoking behaviours among adolescents : The role of academic orientation 2000 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 7:4, s. 467-478 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article explores the issue of socioeconomic differences in adolescents' smoking behaviour, using academic orientation as an indication of social position. The article is based on questionnaire data collected in 1995 from 2426 pupils in the ninth grade in a county in Sweden. The results indicate that students who have applied for non-theoretical programmes in upper secondary school are more likely to smoke than students who have applied for theoretical programmes. In addition to substantial and methodological interpretations, the results also raise questions with respect to anti-smoking measures among young persons as well as the allocation of resources for health education programmes in schools.

Two themes, new to the literature, are identified: (1) need for political and social change focusing on the climate emergency, resistance towards laissez-faire behaviour and exhortations, and (2) resistance targets including the political leaders, capitalist ideologies and older generations. This illustrates the power of children in expressing abstract progressive resistance.

Reconstructing childhood with ideological dilemmas and metaphorical expressions 2018 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 25:2, s. 158-172 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article draws attention to the way some theoretically driven researchers discuss an insistent need for reframing the ontological and epistemological assumptions in the field of research known as childhood studies. Using a rhetorical approach, I will take a closer look at how their vocabulary is constructed and made credible through an attempt to find a cohesive language applicable in an interdisciplinary discourse. The article points to the paradoxical claim of taking a step away from a modernist way of thinking, while the arguing is based on a modernist approach. In addition, it also highlights constructions of a certain ideal researcher.

Iversen, Clara, 1981- (author) Predetermined participation : Social workers evaluating children's agency in domestic violence interventions 2014 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 21:2, s. 273-288 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article examines how ideals of children’s participation and model consistency compete in social workers’ accounts of intervention outcomes in 35 evaluation interviews in Sweden. Using discursive psychology, the analysis demonstrates how the social workers rely on category-based accounts: They describe willing children as competent, unwilling children as developing, and children attempting to rule in counselling as problematic. The interviews’ focus on following the intervention model constructs a limited, predetermined participation that only respects children’s wishes when they agree with the intervention. In showing this, the study contributes to further understanding of tensions between the principle and practice of participation.

Johansson, Barbro, 1954 (author) Doing adulthood in childhood research 2012 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 19:1, s. 101-114 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Since age and generation first started to be problematized, the focus has been on childhood, while adulthood has attracted less attention. In this article four examples are presented of how adulthood is constructed within the specific context of childhood research. Taking the departure in Deleuzian and actor network theories, four examples are given of subjectivites that emerge in specific events, where humans as well as non-humans are active agents: the ‘adult-in-charge’, the ‘adult-included-in-commonality’, the ‘incompetent child’ and the ‘adult-as-other’. It is argued that there are always the possibilities of, on the one hand, performing the expected acts and, on the other hand, escaping from a stable and restricted adult subjectivity.

(author) Being and becoming a responsible caregiver : Negotiating guidance and control in family interaction in Tanzania 2013 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 20:4, s. 487-506 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This study explores how siblings in Tanzania actively engage in their own socialization through the negotiation and local design of caregiving practices and control between younger siblings (age 1-3), older siblings (age 3-13) and adults. Analyses of moment-to-moment embodied, multimodal sequences of interaction illustrate how caregiving responsibility is negotiated. The analysis is multidisciplinary drawing on concepts developed in the traditions of sociology, language socialization and applied linguistics. The findings highlight the usefulness of a concept of socialization which recognizes the agency of the child and are discussed in relation to constructions of the caregiving child as both being and becoming.

A grounded theory analysis suggested a model that included four discipline strategies related to corporal punishment: to beat with care, to treat like an egg, as if beating a snake and the non-care of non-beating. In order to develop strategies to prevent corporal punishment in the home in accordance with the UN recommendation and article 19 in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the power of caregiving needs further investigation.
36.	Josefsson, Jonathan (author) 'We beg you, let them stay!' : Right claims of asylum-seeking children as a socio-political practice 2017 In: Childhood. - London : Sage Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 24:3, s. 316-332 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Children’s rights to asylum have emerged as an urgent political challenge. This article uses a number of cases discussed in Sweden’s largest morning paper to analyse claims of asylum-seeking children and how these claims challenge the normative limits of contemporary asylum, concerning what and who ought to be recognized by law. Even though the universality of the child constitutes a running theme, the arguments and the conception of children underpinning the claims are diverse. The article suggests that the claiming of rights as a socio-political practice could be a vital analytical approach to studying children’s rights and offers a much needed alternative to the dominant mainstreaming paradigm.

Examining video data, using an ethnomethodological approach, the study focuses moral work-in-interaction in instances where the girls negotiate rule violations. It was found that the girls oriented to diverse forms of moral orders, shifting between a competitive/justice-based order and a socio-moral order of reciprocal relations. Argumentative moves of cheating were used as communicative resources both to control moral transgressions and to gain personal advantages. Overall, the analysis shows that preschool girls are active moral agents in making and breaking rules and in negotiating complex moral orders.

It shows that the children used tactical awareness to identify the displayed strategies of the institutional regulation, which was conditional for their development of tactical acts, through which they handled that regulation. The children’s political acts of resistance and struggle for play, which were hidden to the institution, demonstrated how they claimed their right to play, although this right was still structurally denied. Consequently, their politics is a politics of impediment.

Although the concepts have ethnic connotations, they are mainly concerned with matters of style and behaviour. They are therefore open, fluid and inclusive because the students can alternate between the categories. The analyses draw on 1year of fieldwork in two eighth grade classes in which all students have experience of migration within their families.

(author) Doing childhood, doing gender, but not doing sports : Unorganized girls’ reflections on leisure time from a relational perspective 2022 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 29:2, s. 172-186 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract The aim is to analyze how girls from a multi-ethnic area, not doing sports, reason about their well-being during leisure time, and how they think about physical activities, social relations, and their near future. The results say that they mainly regard leisure time as a moment for rest. They have close relations in primary groups but weaker secondary relations. They reveal stereotypical opinions about gender divisions in sports. Physical activity is unwanted and tiresome, if not part of playing.
41.	Kaukko, Mervi, et al. (author) Belonging and participation in liminality : Unaccompanied children in Finland and Sweden 2017 In: Childhood. - : Sage Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 24:1, s. 7-20 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article investigates children’s participation and sense of belonging from the perspective of unaccompanied children, based on two qualitative research projects with unaccompanied children in Sweden and Finland. The results show that the unaccompanied children’s own understanding of their participation and belonging in different positions was fluid; for instance, the borders between childhood and adulthood, and striving for independence or wanting to be cared for by adults were flexible, allowing the children’s movement within and between the categories.
42.	Klerfelt, Anna (author) Cyberage Narratives Creative computing in after-school centres 2006 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 13:2, s. 175-203 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract In this article two computer-produced multimedia stories created by children in their after-school centre are analysed, building on the assumption that children draw that which is important for them. The aim is to make visible the significance of narrative structure, reaccentuation, intertextuality, multivoicedness and various levels of interpretation. The author discusses how the stories spring from the children’s everyday social practice and mirror their contemporary media culture. In conclusion, the author advances the need for the appropriation of a socially shared symbolic system within the chosen genre through participation in social practices
43.	Knezevic, Zlatana, 1984- (author) Amoral, im/moral and dis/loyal : Children's moral status in child welfare 2017 In: Childhood. - : SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 24:4, s. 470-484 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article is a discursive examination of children's status as knowledgeable moral agents within the Swedish child welfare system and in the widely used assessment framework BBIC. Departing from Fricker's concept of epistemic injustice, three discursive positions of children's moral status are identified: amoral, im/moral and dis/loyal. The findings show the undoubtedly moral child as largely missing and children's agency as diminished, deviant or rendered ambiguous. Epistemic injustice applies particularly to disadvantaged children with difficult experiences who run the risk of being othered, or positioned as reproducing or accommodating to the very same social problems they may be victimised by.
44.	Kostenius, Catrine (author) Picture this - our dream school! : Swedish schoolchildren sharing their visions of school 2011 In: Childhood. - : SAGE Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 18:4, s. 509-525 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract The aim of this study was to make visible, and understand, possible opportunities for school improvement based on schoolchildren’s lived experience and visionary ideas of school. Schoolchildren aged 10–12 from the northern part of Sweden participated in the study. The phenomenological analysis resulted in three themes, with no particular order of preference: the school of ‘Friendship and involvement’, the school of ‘Work and play’ and the school of ‘Places and spaces’. The comprehensive understanding of the children’s dream school is the school of ‘Friendship, freedom and fun’, which is discussed with school improvement in mind.
45.	Larsson, Bengt, 1966-, et al. (author) Bringing environmentalism home : Children’s influence on family consumption in the Nordic countries and beyond 2010 In: Childhood. - : Sage Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 17:1, s. 129-147 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article discusses children as contributors to sustainable ecological development. The aim of the article is to develop a framework for researching two questions: What are the prerequisites for children to become responsible environmentalists? What actual and potential influence do children have on their family’s consumption? Three theoretical perspectives are elaborated in relation to relevant empirical research: children as cosmopolitan actors and world citizens, children as ‘subjects of responsibilization’ in relation to the discourse on sustainable development and children as actors influencing family negotiations about consumption. The article concludes by suggesting methodological implications that follow from this framework.
46.	Lind, Jacob (author) Governing vulnerabilised migrant childhoods through children’s rights 2019 In: Childhood. - : Sage Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 26:3, s. 337-351 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article analyses four different contexts in Sweden where children’s rights have been mobilised to govern vulnerabilised migrant childhoods. The concept of ‘vulnerabilisation’ is suggested to capture the political processes creating the conditions for defining and attributing vulnerability. To enable children’s rights to be a productive tool for challenging the repressive governing of migrant families and children, the article argues for the need of a problematisation and contextualisation of both the children’s rights paradigm and the vulnerabilisation of migrant childhoods.
47.	Lind, Judith, 1971- (author) Roots, origins and backgrounds : An analysis of their meanings in the creation of adoptive families in Sweden 2012 In: Childhood. - : Sage Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 19:1, s. 115-128 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract In international conventions as well as in the national discourses of many countries, children who do not grow up with their biogenetic parents have the right to receive information about their origin. The meaning of origin in intercountry adoption, however, is not necessarily the same as in artificial donor insemination (AID). Through an analysis of the material published by the Swedish Intercountry Adoption Authority from 1972 to 2004 and by discussing the often-drawn analogy between adoption and AID, the present article aims to investigate the varying meanings that have been ascribed to origin and the arguments that have been used in support of its importance.
48.	Lind, Judith, 1971- (author) The rights of intended children. The best interests of the child argument in assisted reproduction policy 2019 In: Childhood. - : Sage Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 26:3, s. 352-368 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Assisted reproduction policies constitute a particularly interesting case for the study of child rights governance as the child here is an intended child. The child's rights are in potential conflict not with the parental, but the reproductive rights of adults. The article aims to analyse the mobilization of the best interests of the child principle as a rhetorical resource in Swedish assisted reproduction policies and to trace the limits of governance in the name of the rights of the child.
49.	Lindgren, Anne-Li, 1965-, et al. (author) Enacting (real) fiction : Materializing childhoods in a theme park 2015 In: Childhood. - : Routledge. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 22:2, s. 171-186 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Even though fiction and fantasy are fundamental to how childhoods today are understood, thisis a topic that is seldom explored either theoretically or academically. We address the questionof how the relationship between material real and fictive real can be understood in new ways incontemporary society. We suggest that fiction can be understood in other ways than the hithertodichotomized approaches to it, and our aim is to focus on the hybridity that is created throughthe interconnecting word and, as in fiction and childhood and material real and fictive real. Thisarticle explores how fiction can be understood as hybrid and interrelated rather than a pure andseparate phenomenon, and in particular how materiality as something real and fiction as realmingle. This article introduces ways to talk about the fictive real as realunreality and highlightsthe drawbacks that might stem from these concepts since in several ways they re-enact childhoodinnocence and nostalgia, as well as negative differences between childhood and adulthood, wheredifferent childhoods share a subordinate position in society.
50.	Lindgren, Cecilia, 1969- (author) Ideals of parenting and childhood in the contact zone of intercountry adoption : Assessment of second-time adoption applicants in Sweden 2015 In: Childhood. - : Sage Publications. - 0907-5682 .- 1461-7013. ; 22:4, s. 474-489 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Intercountry adoption is a global phenomenon, a contact zone in which notions of ‘good parents’ and ‘the child’s best interest’ are negotiated. This article explores what norms of parenthood and childhood Sweden, as a receiving country, communicates in the global flow of children and ideas. Adoption assessment reports are examined, with a focus on how adoption applicants are portrayed and how ‘good parents’ are thereby construed. The analysis demonstrates how certain qualities, for example, being loving, self-sacrificing and child-centred, are ascribed to applicants, and how the presentation of ‘good parents’ also defines a proper childhood.
