Description
Upon the “discovery of childhood,†as named by Philippe Ariès, bourgeois culture and modern literature marked out an arcane realm that, while scarcely accessible for adults, acted as a space for projections of the most contradictory kind and diverse ideological purposes: childhood.
As this book reveals, from the eighteenth century onwards, the child increasingly came into focus in literature as a mysterious creature.
Now the child seems a strange being, constantly unsettling and alienating, although exposed to ongoing territorialization.
This is possible because the space of ‘childhood’ is essentially blank and indefinite.
Modernity, therefore, has discovered it as a zone, in the words of Friedrich Schiller of “boundless determinability." Â
