“…Magistris differentiates between the agency of children and that of adults, stating that the former "(...) occurs in a particular structural context, which is a subordinate minority action framework" (9), while the latter enjoys greater recognition and legitimacy, thus reducing or nullifying the development of the children's agency; the author refers to it as 'adultcentrism' [9]. The perspective proposed by Magistris has little application in this study.…”

Background The children’s agency and that exercised by parents and health professionals in palliative care, along with structural limitations imposed by the conditions of inequality, will provide a new perspective from medical anthropology and biomedicine to improve pediatric palliative care in complex therapeutic scenarios. The main purpose of the study was to analyze the ways in which pediatric patients have agency in relation to their parents and palliative care (PC) professionals within the hospital setting, as well as the structural circumstances that constrain said agency. Method A hospital ethnography (by means of non-participant observation and interviews) of the palliative care (PC) unit in a children’s hospital was conducted over the course of six months. A thematic analysis was performed using the ATLAS.ti software . Results Thirteen cases were reconstructed of underage patients of both sexes patients together with their families; five health professionals were interviewed. The analysis identified the following 6 thematic axes, around which this article is organized: 1. The relationship between the exercise of proxy agency and the medical decisions concerning underage patients. 2. Negotiating agency and support in decision-making. 3. Child autonomy. 4. The experiences of health professionals. 5. Limitations of palliative care. 6. Bureaucratization of palliative care. Conclusions In pediatric palliative care, agency is a process whereby different agencies intertwine: lack of pediatric patients ‘agency, the parents’ agency, the parents’ agency as representatives of their children (proxy agency), and the agency of health professionals. The concept of relational agency is proposed, defined as a set of group actions and decision-making centered around the pediatric patients’s agency and the proxy agency.

“…Para comprender la agencia infantil, es importante tener en cuenta precisamente todas las estrategias de resistencia y de apropiación que se desarrollan en los diferentes espacios por los niños y niñas. Específicamente, desde la condición de edad, clase y de género (Magistris, 2018). Staid (2021), define los mecanismos de resistencia como aquellos comportamientos codificados en una subcultura marginada que posibilitan a los sujetos soluciones en relación con la vulnerabilidad estructural que sufren.…”

El presente artículo pretende comprender los mecanismos de resistencia que utilizan los niños en situación de calle en Tánger, en el norte de Marruecos. Desde una mirada de agencia hacia ellos, este trabajo reflexiona sobre su participación en el espacio público, así como sobre los cambios necesarios que los profesionales que trabajan con ellos contemplan. Para ello, se ha participado durante dos meses en el marco de un proyecto transnacional situado en Tánger que trabaja con niños en este contexto. Para esta investigación, se ha adoptado por realizar un estudio de caso en este territorio mediante la técnica de observación participante con 80 niños y 6 niñas en situación de calle entre 9 y 18 años que forman parte del proyecto. Asimismo, se han realizado dos entrevistas a profesionales vinculados con los niños y se ha desarrollado un grupo focal con tres educadores que trabajan en el contexto citado, con la finalidad de contribuir hacia una mirada de agencia de la infancia y a la búsqueda de nuevas posibilidades para su contexto.
