O dossiê Culturas Infantis e Culturas Juvenis reúne artigos de pesquisadores engajados na superação de abordagens da infância e da juventude focadas somente em perspectivas cronológicas que normatizam suas etapas, idades,/ou fases da vida.

CFP: Juvenile Delinquency in the 19th and 20th Centuries: East-West Comparisons

12th and 13th March 2011
Centre for British Studies
Humboldt University, Berlin

Abstract deadline: 15th October 2010

The history of juvenile delinquency has too often been written from an exclusively national perspective with little in the way of comparative or transnational studies. Particularly lacking are comparisons between the construction and understanding of juvenile delinquency in the cultural fields of East and West. How have attempts to define and problematise child and youth behaviours differed between Eastern and Western cultures? Have children and childhood been imagined differently in East and West? How have cultural constructions of the young affected the ways in which the behaviour of children and young people has been classified and understood in different societies? Is juvenile delinquency a peculiarly western idea?
This two-day conference seeks to bring together scholars at all levels working in a variety of fields including history, sociology, literary studies, geography, anthropology and ethnography, to discuss these and related questions. It is hoped that such discussions will lead to a more nuanced understanding of the ways in which concepts of childhood, youth and delinquency have been shaped by particular cultural contexts.

CFP: Jeunesse: Young People, Texts, Cultures

Housed in the Centre for Research in Young People’s Texts and Cultures (CRYTC) and produced under the sponsorship of the Associate Vice-President (Research) and the Dean of Arts at the University of Winnipeg, with funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), Jeunesse: Young People, Texts, Cultures is an interdisciplinary, refereed academic journal whose mandate is to publish research on and to provide a forum for discussion about cultural productions for, by, and about young people. Our scope is international; while we have a special interest in Canada, we welcome submissions concerning all areas and cultures. The focus of the journal is on the cultural functions and representations of “the child.” This can include children’s and young adult literature and media; young people’s material culture, including toys; digital culture and young people; historical and contemporary constructions, functions, and roles of “the child” and adolescents; and literature, art, and films by children and young adults. We welcome articles in both English and French. Jeunesse was formerly Canadian Children’s Literature/Littérature canadienne pour la jeunesse.
More information on how to submit papers and how to subscribe can be found on our website: http://jeunessejournal.ca/
Our review essay and forum sections are open access.

CFP: Infância, Juventude e Relações de Gênero na História da Educação

VIII Congresso Luso-Brasileiro de História da Educação
São Luis – Maranhão, Brasil
22-25 de Agosto 2010

A produção histórica no campo da educação tem apresentado um descompasso entre objetos, notadamente, os que contemplam a infância, a juventude e as relações de gênero. Recuperar e reescrever os silêncios dos sujeitos dessas questões, com a partilha dos múltiplos olhares luso-brasileiros constitui avanço nos temas históricos, além do acolhimento dos sem-voz e dos sem-vez de uma escola, que precisa ser investigada, a partir de outras oposições, dicotomias e argumentos.
