Panel: Spaces of Childhood
This panel examines children's spaces in film. Papers can address conventional childhood spaces, such as the child's bedroom, school, or playground, or ways in which children penetrate "adult" spaces such as the street, the theater, the brothel. Papers might consider what constitutes a child's space, how children produce space, how space produces children, and how filmic representations of space challenge or confirm conventional understandings of childhood, Of interest are questions of children's mobility, access, intrusion, privacy, publicness, vulnerability, knowingness, and/or innocence in various spaces. Papers might take up questions of sexuality, race, and class; considerations of genre, nationality, and history.
