Grotesque Progeny: The Commodification of Dangerous and Endangered Children - Cultures of Childhood
Mark Heimermann
In contemporary Western society, we are increasingly fascinated by narratives in which children are depicted as unsettling beings, dangerous and endangered, sometimes chaotic or even evil. In this book, Heimermann argues these representations reflect cultural anxiety regarding a shifting conception of youths from emotional assets to economic ones.
