An Infantile Disorder? Youth, Childhood, and the British Anarchist Movement During the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939
An Infantile Disorder? Youth, Childhood, and the British Anarchist Movement During the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939 Morris Brodie The Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth, Volume 13, Number 1, Winter 2020, pp. 80-102 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/hcy.2020.0002 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/746218 Access provided at 19 Mar 2020 20:44 GMT with no institutional affiliation MORRIS BRODIE AN INFANTILE DISORDER? YOUTH, CHILDHOOD, AND THE BRITISH ANARCHIST MOVEMENT DURING THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR, 1936–1939 Following the Enlightenment, pedagogical thinkers frequently dismissed children as “empty vessels” whose primary purpose was to learn as much as possible before they reached adulthood, denying them any real agency during their childhood years.1 On the radical left, the orthodox communist move- ment, particularly in the Soviet Union during the Stalinist era, increasingly came to view childhood as “preparation for a life of disinterested labour and submissive existence as a co-operative subject of Soviet power.”2 Anarchists, in theory at least, place great emphasis on childhood as both an arena for individual self-development and an opportunity to educate children to reject bourgeois hegemonic norms in favor of revolutionary solutions to society’s ills. This was to be achieved through an “integral education” that emphasized the flourishing of all aspects of a child’s personality. In practice, though, this liberationist goal was often sidelined. In Britain in the late 1930s, anarchists routinely used children in much the same instrumentalist way as their non- anarchist critics. -
