Abstract [en]

Nietzsche employs the Child as a futural figure of affirmation beyond the human, which overcomes the "spirit of revenge" and the weight of the past. As Nietzsche dreams of the Child, colonialism/coloniality specifically targets children to sever communities and impose a civilizational-colonial future. In this article, I read Nietzsche's question of the human/Overman through Wynter's sociogenic terms of Man/the human. Then, I turn to Fanon's sociogeny of childhood and its transformation during the Algerian Revolution. Recasting Nietzsche's questions in light of violence against children, Fanon provides a different response: overcoming the spirit of revenge and the creation of new values occur through the shared commitment and praxis of decolonization. Children participate in and are witnesses to this transformation beyond the figures of Man and Child.
