TL;DR: The problematic nature of silence and its tendency to trouble qualitative inquiry is discussed in this article. But rather than seeking methodological remedies for such impediments, the article dwells on, and in, the recalcitrance of silence.

TL;DR: The authors identified some critical factors in the production of reputation, including: the "discursive framing" of behaviour; the public nature of classroom discipline; the linking of behaviour, learning and emotions; the interactional complexities of being (seen to be) good, and the demands on children of passing as the "proper child" required by prevailing discourses of normal development, as coded in UK early years curriculum policy and pedagogy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of video in classroom research is discussed and an experimental video film that attempts to intervene in the repetitious production of the banal is presented. But it does not address the role of the everyday banality of the normal child.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider certain practices that are embedded within the act of documenting data and how these relate to and are connected with identity, and then they offer alternative sets of practices where data is considered more in terms of a "montage" where'several different images are superimposed onto one another' (Denzin and Lincoln, 2003: 6).

TL;DR: In this paper, a focus on the dichotomy between affection/infection for and of certain objects may offer new possibilities for seeing and engaging with children, thus expanding the narrow imaginaries of children that are coded in developmental psychology, UK early years education policy and classroom practice.
