NGO Economies of Affect: Humanitarianism and Childhood in Contemporary and Historical Perspective

Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies on Children and Development ((PSCD))

Abstract

Global humanitarian interventions on behalf of children often commodify forms of childhood “disadvantage,” defined as non-normative, endangered, and vulnerable. Such processes of commodification rely on circulating affects that are productive of, and produced by, universalized stereotypes of an “ideal” childhood. This chapter offers a political economic analysis that takes into account how affect is used strategically to create “childhood need” as a marketable product in the humanitarian and development fields. Considering how vulnerability is read through colonial and neoliberal categories of age, gender, race, and culture, we ask how affectively driven categories of childhood suffering are deployed in transnational humanitarian discourse. What gives such portraits of childhood their power, how do organizations use them, and what are the consequences for children, their families, and their communities? The chapter outlines a brief history of global and regional humanitarian movements and actions with regard to children’s well-being, noting how the lines between charity, humanitarian, development, and child protection work have historically been blurred. We close with a conceptual unpacking of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) as transnational actors and the moral underpinnings of their activities, as well as a discussion on why childhood is so easily utilized, idealized, and affectively framed within humanitarian discourse.
