Résumé
The starting point of this article is Michel Foucault's genealogies of childhood, which are scattered throughout his work and was reinterpreted by contemporary Foucauldian studies, in particular the feminist research of Silvia Federici (and her genealogies of women) and the postcolonial studies of Ann Laura Stoler (and her genealogies of the colonized). Since Foucault did not mention the history of women and the colonies, these diversions through feminist and postcolonial genealogies will allow us to take part in the debates on intersectionality. Indeed, since the 1990s, this methodological perspective has been conceived in multiple ways (as articulation, matrix, assemblage etc.), so it will be a question of seeing how to think about intersectionality in reference to Foucauldian analytical frameworks and their critiques. More specifically, by bringing together these authors and their genealogies, this article will attempt to situate itself within contemporary debates on the intersection of “Childism” and the decolonial movement. While some authors consider the production of childhood/age as preceding the production of coloniality/race, others see the opposite. To enter into these debates, we will take up Bacchetta's (2015) idea of co-formations and co-productions of colonial and ageist relations in the long history of metropolises and colonies. In doing so, we will attempt to describe and analyze relations of subjugation (of gender, class, race or age) on the one hand, as an effect of multiplicity according to specific conjunctures; and on the other hand as the crystallization relations of power that extend over large space-time.
