ABSTRACT

The article aims to examine the meanings that Polish children (age 8–11) attribute to computers, television, or smartphones, in the context of health. Basing on childhood studies literature and the concept of healthscape I show how children include electronic media, as material and symbolic objects, in health discourses. In children’s worldviews these objects meet with healthy food and fit culture, as elements of healthscapes. The healthscape infrastructure allows children to simultaneously adopt different viewpoints and moral orders in the field of health. It could seem that the ‘perfect’ child would be a self-controlling child who never watches television or plays computer games, and who eats only healthy food. But this expectation contradicts another one, according to which children should be wild, free, and disobedient. Children need to navigate between contradictory viewpoints, and they need to find balance and a way to create their own identity therein.

糟糕的电视,不健康的电脑?儿童健康、乐趣和道德的映射

摘要

本文旨在研究波兰儿童(8-11 岁)在健康方面对计算机、电视或智能手机的理解。基于儿童研究文献和健康景观的概念,我展示了儿童如何将电子媒体作为物质和象征对象纳入健康话语。在儿童的世界观中,这些物品与健康食品和健康文化相结合,成为健康景观的元素。健康景观基础设施允许儿童在健康领域同时采用不同的观点和道德秩序。看起来“完美”的孩子应该是一个从不看电视或玩电脑游戏,只吃健康食品的自我控制的孩子。但这种期望与另一种期望相矛盾,即儿童应该是狂野的、自由的和不听话的。
