<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">This series aims to highlight similarities and differences in what it means to be a “good” child across Asia. Each audio think piece presents a culturally specific understanding of the “good” child through
examples from popular media, literature, and ethnographic fieldwork. <b>Dafna Zur</b> suggests that in Korea, understandings of the “good child” changes across time and is political.
<b>Satrya Wibawa </b>traces the changes in representations of children in Indonesian cinema, arguing that “a good child is a good nation and the good nation needs the good child.” Examining
<i>hafu</i> (“mixed-race/ethnic”) children in Japan, <b>Kaori Mori Want</b> critiques the highly racialized stereotypes of these children in popular media.
<b>Paro Mishra</b> sheds light on how Indian society defines a “good” son. Based on extensive ethnographic research on Burmese migrant children,
<b>Prasert Rangkla</b> demonstrates how understandings of the “good child” is grounded in their economic contribution to the family rather than their educational achievements. Comparing media representations of the
<i>guai</i> (“good”) child in different Chinese societies, <b>Sue Chen</b> and <b>
Sin Wen Lau</b> argue that <i>guai </i>is a complex multifaceted and dynamic concept.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
