Our research challenges the picture of children exposed to political violence as helpless victims, portraying them as active agents who mobilize resources both within themselves and their social, physical, political world. Based on drawings and walk-along interviews with 70 Palestinian children, the present study provides an analysis of children’s agency across the multiple settings in which they live. Our findings highlight the interconnections between the children’s agentic practices and the multiple ecologies implied in promoting – or suppressing – their opportunity to cope with their surroundings.

在结构内运作的机构：对居住在巴勒斯坦的儿童的机构的定性探索

我们的研究挑战了将遭受政治暴力的儿童视为无助受害者的形象，将他们描绘成积极的代理人，在他们自己和他们的社会、物理和政治世界中调动资源。本研究基于绘画和对 70 名巴勒斯坦儿童的步行采访，分析了儿童在不同生活环境中的能动性。我们的研究结果强调了儿童的代理行为与促进或抑制他们应对周围环境的机会所暗示的多重生态之间的相互联系。
