Abstract
The essay offers an analysis of Michel Foucault’s previously unpublished manuscript, “La croisade des enfants”. After establishing its date and providing a description of the manuscript, the essay situates it within contemporary debates on childhood sexuality and power relations between adults and minors, paying particular attention to the work of René Schérer and Christiane Rochefort, whose writings intersect with Foucault’s project in several ways. In doing so, the article brings into focus the political and philosophical stakes of “La croisade des enfants”, illuminating aspects of Foucault’s thought that have thus far remained understudied.
