Abstract

This article is taken from the Rethinking Childhood Series book:  O’Loughlin, M. (2009).  The Subject of Childhood. NY:  Peter Lang.  The book is a collection of essays that examine childhood through psychological, psychoanalytic and cultural studies perspectives.  The specific text reprinted here includes O’Loughlin’s personal narrative and theory as he theorizes about how social, historical and cultural forces influence a child’s subjectivity.   The reader is referred to the complete book for further autobiographical narratives, theoretical reflections and examples from the author’s work in schools and in private practice.
