在法国的维希，儿童享有特权地位。他们成为一场强有力的宣传的主题和对象，承认他们有能力为国民革命做出贡献。这篇文章讨论了儿童被政权利用的三种方式，展示了他们与政权的相互参与，这被理解为“公民行为”。首先，他们被马列斯特领袖崇拜所吸引，被用来嵌入政权的价值观。其次，儿童的同情心被纳入了各种有助于国家(主义)团结的运动。第三，他们对国家人口增长负有性别责任，无论是现在还是未来。该条款使用了儿童编写的“公共”书面资料(例如，寄给Pétain元帅的信件和散文，因此保存在公共收藏中，而不是私人手中的日记或私人绘画)。尽管它承认这些在认识论上是不稳定的，但这些来源为了解儿童机构的要素提供了机会，这些要素被视为符合和不同意见。通过承认儿童是历史参与者，我们可以将他们识别为活跃在自己生活中的“存在”，而不仅仅是等待中的成年人。
Children held a privileged place in Vichy France. They became the subjects and objects of a vigorous propaganda which recognized their ability to contribute to the National Revolution. This article discusses three ways in which children were instrumentalized by the regime, showing their reciprocal engagement with it, which is understood as ‘citizenly’ behaviour. First, drawn into themaréchalisteleadership cult, they were used to embed the values of the regime. Second, children’s compassion was co-opted in various campaigns which contributed to national(ist) solidarity. Third, they engaged with a gendered duty to national population growth, now and in the future. The article uses ‘public’ written sources (for example, letters and essays sent to Marshal Pétain and thus archived in public collections, not diaries or drawings for private eyes, in private hands) produced by children. Although it recognizes these as epistemologically unstable, such sources present opportunities for understanding elements of children’s agency, which is seen in conformity as well as dissent. By recognizing children as historical actors, we can identify them as ‘beings’ active in their own lives, and not just adults-in-waiting.
