Dear Colleagues,
I’d like to announce that the latest issue of Antropologia, Volume 4 (2), Special Focus on “Independent Children” (Guest Editors: Giuseppe Bolotta, Silvia Vignato), is now accessible online: http://www.ledijournals.com/ojs/index.php/antropologia/issue/view/91/showToc.
This Special Focus is dedicated to ethnographies of children who grow up outside their families, however these are defined, and raised in different institutions committed to leading children towards developing specific ideals of adulthood. Throughout the six contributions of this Special Focus, the authors analyse a field of relatedness where institutions like orphanages, religious NGOs or rehabilitation centres, and peer groups, all encompassed within more general religious and political ideologies, interact with diversely structured families in the children’s care and thus contribute to shaping the children’s self-formation.
Antropologia is a peer-review full open-access journal. All the articles in this Special Focus are thus immediately freely available to read, download and share.
