Focusing on early childhood socialization in Japanese preschools, this book explores how body practices and emotional management shape children's development. It introduces the concept of 'body projects' to illustrate how cultural definitions influence the physical and emotional expression of children. By examining the body as both a malleable entity and a representation of social relations, the work delves into the interplay between cultural norms and individual identity, highlighting the significance of bodily practices in shaping affective attitudes.
