Abstract
We first met Manfred Liebel in Paris at the Conference “Rethinking Childhood: Working Children’s Challenge to the Social Sciences” (hereafter the Paris conference) in the year 2000 in which we both were involved. We had organised this conference together with Graciela Paillet from the University of Amsterdam and three colleagues from France, Michel Bonnet, Marie-France Lange and Bernard Schlemmer as a follow-up to a conference that Bernard Schlemmer had organised in 1996 in Paris at ORSTOM (now IRD), to discuss evolutions in debates around child labour (see Schlemmer, 1996; Schlemmer, 2000). As the title of our conference suggests, by looking at the debates on child labour from working children’s perspectives, we wanted to explore what seemed an epistemic revolution.
