Ancestral, genealogical, and ideological considerations in understanding child precarity
Abstract
Early educators and carers, must hold hope in difficult times, when war, displacement, and other neocolonial forces render childhood precarious. Sovereign authority sets out to rupture genealogical filiations and erase ancestral and historical memory, inducing precarity. The result is a subjectivity severed from history and characterized by melancholy. My work explores the potential of moving children from mere existence or subservience to ethical relationality and agentic possibility in an often unjust world.
