N2  - ‪At the heart of the rediscovery of “invisible” individuals lies the concept of agency. This has, however, rarely been applied to children and young people of the modern era until now. Yet, although it has been overlooked, its hermeneutical potential is obvious. From childhood to adulthood, individuals are engaged in a process of self-construction, by which they aim to assert their individuality when facing adults and the world at large. This dossier fosters reflection on the experiences of children and the agency of youth (between adapting and resisting) in France and neighbouring countries (Switzerland and Germany) over a long period of time (from the sixteenth to mid-nineteenth century), using a wide range of sources from the history of education classical texts to adolescents’ personal writings. It thereby aims to shed light on how children and young people acted within social structures and to reveal them as historical agents in their own right.‪
