Description: Figuring the Future : Globalization and the Temporalities of Children and Youth, Paperback by Cole, Jennifer (EDT); Durham, Deborah (EDT), ISBN 1934691054, ISBN-13 9781934691052, Brand New, Free shipping in the US In this collection of nine otherwise varied essays on youth and globalization, the authors adopt a particular focus on the issue of temporality, specifically futurity. For the purposes of the volume's examination of youth practices, the "future," editors Cole (human development, U. of Chicago) and Durham (anthropology, Sweetbriar College) explain, is comprised of three dimensions: "(1) how the future is imagined through specific representations of temporality, (2) how one orients oneself and others to it through sentiments like hope and anxiety and their relationships to risk, and (3) how one substantively creates it by designing and normalizing new kinds of practices." Specific topics include disciplines of temporality in childrearing practices in market reform China, the popularity of apocalyptic hip-hop in Tanzania among male youth, differences between notions of temporality embodied in youth among the Herero people of Botswana and in the West, the ways hope as an act of future making is intertwined with social relationships and institutions in the United States, the role of hope in forging new forms of political activism among youth in the United States, and the link between hope and risk in youth fashion practice and sex-for-money relationships in contemporary Madagascar. The essays are primarily penned by anthropologists, but the disciplines of history, sociology, and social psychology are represented as well. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
