新童年社会学视角下对儿童“疯癫”之再认识——基于对绘本的分析

Rethinking of Children’s“Madness”from the Perspective of New Childhood Sociology:An analysis on Children’s Picture-books

绘本是当代儿童研究的主要载体,绘本中的儿童“疯癫”具体表现为认知偏离理性、情绪失控和行为违规。从传统社会学视角出发,儿童“疯癫”具有非理性、非道德性、本原性等特征,是一种理应被规训的状态。而从新童年社会学视角出发,“疯癫”反映了儿童独特的理性,是儿童自我意识觉醒和创造性萌发的体现,极大程度受现实境遇的影响。新童年社会学拓宽了儿童教育的思路,启示我们面对儿童之“疯癫”,应打破童年体制化转向、超越成人与儿童二元对立模式并转变线性发展观。

Picture-books provide one of the main carriers of contemporary children’s studies.Children’s“madness”in picture-books is manifested as cognitive deviation from rationality,emotional out of control and behavior violation.From the perspective of traditional sociology,children’s“madness”has the characteristics of irrationality,immorality and primitiveness,and is a state that should be disciplined.New childhood sociology believes that“madness”reflects children’s unique rationality,is the embodiment of children’s the awakening of self-awareness and the budding of creativity,and is greatly affected by the real situation.The new sociology of childhood broadens the thought of children’s education,and holds that the treatment of children’s“madness”should break the transformation of childhood system,transcend the binary opposition between adults and children,change the linear development concept,and recognize the multiple forms of children’s existence.
