CHILDREN'S CULTURE


"The popular culture produced for, by, and/or about children. Children's culture is not "innocent" of adult political, economic, moral or sexual concerns. Rather, the creation of children's culture represents the central arena through which we construct our fantasies about the future and a battleground through which we struggle to express competing ideological agendas"(Jenkins, Henry).
A very informative scholarly article on contemporary and past children´s cultures by a highly acclaimed American sociologist.
