Keith J. Hayward
Have you ever noticed that in areas of everyday life, rather than being addressed like a mature adult, you're increasingly treated like an irresponsible child in constant need of instruction and protection?
Noticing society's creeping descent into infantilisation is one thing, however understanding the roots and causes of the phenomenon is not quite so easy. But in this topical and vitally important new work, cultural theorist and academic, Dr Keith Hayward, exposes the deep social, psychological and political dangers of a world characterised by denuded adult autonomy.
But importantly Infantilised is no one-dimensional, unsympathetic critique. Brimming with anecdotes and examples that span everything from the normalisation of infantilism on reality TV to the rise of a new class of political 'infantocrat', this comprehensive book also offers an insightful and at times humorous account of infantilism's seductive appeal, and details some suggestions for avoiding some of the pitfalls associated with our increasingly infantilised world.©2024 K.J.

Kritikerröster
Keith Hayward's brilliant and timely enquiry into the Peter Pan-ish realms of deferred adulthood is simultaneously alarming, entertaining, fascinating and significant. Whatever names or letters of the alphabet they are assigned, recent generations seem more and more to embrace without embarrassment props, preferences and points of view that seem closer to the world of play than the world of work. Hayward's descriptions and analysis of this phenomenon are non-judgemental and shiningly insightful. Hugely recommended (Stephen Fry)
