"She's Always Been, What I Would Think, a Perfect Day-Care Child": Constructing the Subjectivities of a New Zealand Child
Duncan, Judith
European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, v13 n2 p51-61 2005
Drawing on Foucault's tools on subjectivity, the positions offered to Sarah in an early childhood centre and new entrant school classroom are examined. This paper draws on data from interviews with Sarah, her mother, and her teachers, which problematise the discursive meanings for Sarah's continuing educational experiences and her sense of "self". (Contains 4 footnotes.)
