By focusing on children as active participants in society, as creators and actors, this approach upends the adultism in the earlier socialization theories where children's position in such theorizing has been compared to that of 'laboratory rats' (James and Prout 2002). The assertion against socialization theories also takes the form of an assertion about childhood as a social structure (Hardman 200 I; Qvortrup 2002; 2007 & 2009). This approach outlined considerably by Qvortrup, sees childhood as a permanent segment of the social structure even when groups of children enter and leave it across time (Qvortrup 2009).
A significant influence on researchers like Alanen has been Mannheim's understanding of the collective experiences of a generation. In an agency centred perspective the concept of the generational order resolves the dichotomous understanding of 'adult' and 'child' and provides a context for understanding unequal childhoods alongside those of ethnicity and social milieu (Betz 2008). If the adult gaze has been at the centre of criticism from proponents of the 'new' paradigm in the contemporary sociological perspective of childhood, it has also defined the line of ties between the 'new' Sociology of Childhood, other socioogical traditions and the theoretical approaches of other disciplines.
