Эти две области часто обсуждают одну и ту же проблему, но рассматривают ее с разных точек зрения. Теоретики детства спорят о том, что такое детская агентность и стоит ли относиться к ее поиску критически. Некоторые из них продолжают постулировать необходимость рассматривать детей как социальных акторов, тогда как другие критикуют эту установку за внеисторичность, нормативную заряженность, упрощенное понимание агентности и субъектности. Эмпирические же исследователи политического участия детей не слишком озабочены концептуализацией самого понятия агентности, однако материалы их исследований позволяют понять, как сами дети в разных ситуациях дискурсивно конструируют свою агентность — как более прогрессивную, чем взрослая; как не отличающуюся от взрослой; как взаимосвязанную со взрослой; или даже как уступающую взрослой. Дети лишают себя агентности не на пустом месте — такое лишение может объясняться как классовыми факторами, так и факторами, связанными с особенностями социализации. Таким образом, исследования детского политического участия усиливают основания для критики «наивной» установки на поиск детской политической агентности априори, но одновременно они ставят под вопрос возможность одного, «корректного» определения детской (политической) агентности. Обзор дискуссий и находок в обеих областях завершается формулировкой проблем и вопросов, которые исследователям детства, в том числе российским, еще предстоит решить.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article is a review of theoretical discussions about children’s agency in the new sociology of childhood, on the one hand, and a review of empirical studies of children’s political agency, on the other. These two fields often discuss the same problem, but look at it from different perspectives. Childhood theorists debate what children’s agency is and whether the search for it should be critical. Some of them continue to postulate the need to consider children as social actors, while others criticize this position for its ahistorical nature, normative charge, and simplified understanding of agency and subjectivity. Empirical researchers of children’s political participation are not too concerned with the conceptualization of the very concept of agency, but the materials of their research allow us to understand how children themselves in different situations discursively construct their agency — as more progressive than that of an adult; as no different from an adult; as interconnected with an adult; or even as inferior to an adult. Children do not deprive themselves of agency out of nowhere; such deprivation can be explained by both class factors and factors associated with the characteristics of socialization. Thus, studies of children’s political participation strengthen the grounds for criticizing the “naive” attitude to seek children’s political agency a priori, but at the same time they call into question the possibility of one, “correct” definition of children’s (political) agency. The review of discussions and findings in both areas ends with a formulation of problems and questions that childhood researchers, including Russian ones, have yet to resolve.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>детская агентность</kwd><kwd>голоса детей</kwd><kwd>политическое участие детей</kwd><kwd>политический субъект</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>children’s agency</kwd><kwd>children’s voices</kwd><kwd>children’s political participation</kwd><kwd>political subject</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Димке Д.
