Abstract | In dominant representations of the life course, the move through time is assumed to be a relatively unproblematic developmental trajectory from childhood to adulthood, with some acknowledgement of potential turbulence in the transition. Feminist work, such as that of Erica Burman (Burman, 2018 and also see special issue of Feminism & Psychology 2015 for responses to her work), has highlighted the constructed nature of child development and the conceptual and political issues at stake in the proposition of a singular developmental trajectory. In this Special Section we extend this theorizing into a consideration of adulthood. Our interest is in how normative adulthood becomes naturalized through dominant developmental discourse. |
