Kulturanalyse gennem barndomsforskning

Abstract

The aim of the article is to show how childhood research contributes to the understanding of culture and society. Through examples taken from different studies in child-institutions, it is argued that not only do such studies extend our knowledge of children's lives and contemporary conditions of childhood, they also provide insights into fundamental cultural values as well as in social divisions and reproductive dynamics of society.
