Through a consideration of the twin dimensions of childhood - as a structural feature of societies and as a context of children's everyday lives - the book reveals childhood's socially constructed character. Exploring the spatial and temporal boundaries of children's lives, the authors set out the theoretical contexts within which more empirical studies of childhood are embedded.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Rather than using conventional categories of home, school and play, \u003ci\u003eTheorizing Childhood\u003c\/i\u003e is organized round themes such as space, time, culture, the body and work.
