On Children<\/em>\u00a0features critical analyses and practice-research interrogations on the politics and aesthetics of children in performance. It gathers new insights from international researchers and artists who work with children and seeks to draw up some of the epistemological and ontological borders of the child and childhood in relation to both historical and contemporary conceptualizations of children. Moving beyond well-established pedagogical paradigms of children\u2019s participation in performance within the field, the issue poses questions of adult\u2013child transvestism; queering children; the political and cultural rights of children; children as activists and collaborators; and children and radical immanence. Transnational in scope, with contributions from Australia, Canada, Greece, India, Italy, the Netherlands, the USA and the UK, this issue charts the multifaceted work of children in a wide range of performance practices as well as corresponding theoretical approaches across the fields of philosophy, gender studies, psychoanalysis, childhood studies, feminism, disability studies and political theory.\u00a0On Children<\/em>\u00a0opens up new ways of working\u00a0with<\/em>\u00a0and critically reflecting\u00a0on<\/em>\u00a0children in performance.<\/p>\n

At the moment that \u2018On Children\u2019 was being published, news organizations were reporting appalling images of refugee children in cages at the US border.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n<\/hgroup>\n

As editors of an issue that depended for its very creation on the participation and contribution of children – and at its very heart is concerned with children\u2019s rights – the editors of ‘On Children’ felt that what was happening in the US was something that could not be ignored.<\/em><\/p>\n

Editor Adele Senior has set up a Facebook fundraising page for KIND<\/strong> (Kids in Need of Defense) a US non-profit organziation that serves as the leading organization for the protection of children who enter the US immigration system alone and strives to ensure that no such child appears in immigration court without representation. It aims to achieve fundamental fairness through high-quality legal representation and by advancing the child’s best interests, safety and well-being.<\/em><\/p>\n
