Description

Tracing the complex yet intimate relationship between a present-day national obsession with childhood and a colonial past with which Australia as a nation has not adequately come to terms, Young and Free draws on philosophy, literature, film and testimony. The result is a demonstration of how anxiety about childhood has become a screen for more fundamental and intractable issues that vex Australian social and political life. Joanne Faulkner argues that by interpreting these anxieties in their relation to settler-colonial Australia's unresolved conflict with Aboriginal people, new ways of conceiving of Australian community may be opened. The book engages with philosophical and literary characterizations of childhood, from Locke and Rousseau, to Freud, Bergson, Benjamin Agamben, Lacan, Rancière and Halbwachs. The author's psychoanalytic approach is supplemented by an engagement with contemporary political philosophy that informs Faulkner's critique of the concepts of the subject, sovereignty and knowledge, resulting in a speculative postcolonial model of the subject. Cover artist credit: Lyndsay Bird Mpetyane Artwork title: Ahakeye (Bush Plum) Review [Young and Free] provides an important resource for children's literary and cultural studies scholars in its sustained account of how the modern concept of childhood colludes with colonialism to displace Indigenous peoples and how this displacement in turn continues to support white settler identity.-- "Jeunesse: Young People, Texts, Cultures" This new book by Joanne Faulkner is a welcome attempt to map the longstanding obsession with childhood and a colonial past that still discomforts many, and to unravel the links between the two ... It is well-written and engaging and will be read with interest by those working across broad studies of children and childhood. It will also be of interest to postcolonial scholars who will welcome its consideration of a settler-colonial nation's uneasy attempts to come to terms with its origins.-- "Journal of Australian Studies" In this important, expansive and generous book, Joanne Faulkner unsettles persistent themes in Australian discourses of childhood, home and nation, showing the continuing reach of the colonial imaginary in their contemporary idealisations. In particular this book makes a vital contribution to studies of 'white' fantasies of origin and their material--and often violent--effects.--Alison Ravenscroft, author of The Postcolonial Eye About the Author Joanne Faulkner is ARC Future Fellow in Cultural Studies at Macquarie University.
