In this article, I take on the problem of the face in images and visual research on children. This is a problem that is engendered through the visual representations of children and the act of deploying the visualizing techniques associated with visual methods (pictures, video, etc.). It nevertheless is a problem, I argue, that has been couched singularly within a question of ethics in child studies, criminology, and sociology, among other disciplines. Here, I utilize the work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari to challenge the unquestioned ethical commitment to the pixilation of children’s faces in publications. To trouble and reconceptualize the problem of visual representations of children, I assert that this problem is intimately connected to the cultural politics of childhood. For illustrative purposes, I analyze how children are represented in Today’s Child advertisements and Roman Vishniac’s Children of a Vanished World. This article concludes with a broader discussion of the (child’s) face, digital images, and (micro)politics.

在本文中，我将探讨儿童图像和视觉研究中的面部问题。这是通过儿童的视觉表示和部署与视觉方法（图片，视频等）相关联的视觉化技术的行为引起的问题。我认为，这仍然是一个问题，在儿童研究，犯罪学和社会学以及其他学科的伦理问题中被单独提出。在这里，我利用吉尔斯·德勒兹（Gilles Deleuze）和费利克斯·瓜塔里（Felix Guattari）的作品来挑战出版物中对儿童脸部像素化的毫无疑问的道德承诺。为了给儿童的视觉表现带来麻烦和重新概念化，我断言这个问题与儿童的文化政治息息相关。出于说明目的，当今的儿童广告和罗马·维斯尼亚克的《消失的世界的孩子》。本文以对（孩子的）面部，数字图像和（微观）政治的广泛讨论作为结尾。
