This article provides an insight into the behaviour of adolescents during the COVID-19 crisis through a comparison with the life of young people living in France under German occupation during the Second World War.
We conducted a literature review of articles in the CAIRN, SCOPUS and PsycINFO databases using the keywords zazou, adolescent and COVID-19.
The zazou movement was a manifestation of young people's denial of the war through derision. Initially discredited, it was subsequently violently repressed by collaborationists and supporters of Marshal Pétain, as it was interpreted as an enemy of politics. In particular, it ran contrary to the Vichy regime's desire that young French men should spearhead the national revolution. The reaction among young people was to feel that they were being used by ageing politicians, who they considered were out of touch with reality. With respect to adolescents during the COVID-19 crisis, our review found that the French government has pressurised them to make sacrifices for the rest of the population, and has ignored their greater need for social links with peers. Many adolescents feel that they have been forgotten, in the midst of measures that have been imposed upon them with no explanation. This may have led, as in the 1940s, to a feeling of being instrumentalised and demonised by politicians.
We argue that, in both cases, the dominant oppressive atmosphere has fostered similar behaviours and mental mechanisms. We therefore recommend that, rather than demonising young people, efforts should be made to include them in decision-making processes, in order to improve their understanding of the situation and encourage them to feel included.
本文通过将 COVID-19 危机期间青少年的行为与第二次世界大战期间生活在法国的年轻人的生活进行比较，深入了解青少年的行为。
我们使用关键词 zazou、青少年和 COVID-19 在 CAIRN、SCOPUS 和 PsycINFO 数据库中对文章进行了文献回顾。
zazou 运动是年轻人通过嘲笑来否认战争的表现。最初被诋毁，后来被合作者和马歇尔·贝当的支持者暴力镇压，因为它被解释为政治的敌人。特别是，它违背了维希政权希望年轻的法国男子领导民族革命的愿望。年轻人的反应是感到自己被年迈的政治家利用，而这些政治家他们认为与现实脱节。关于 COVID-19 危机期间的青少年，我们的综述发现，法国政府迫使他们为其他人做出牺牲，而忽略了他们与同龄人建立更多社会联系的更大需求。许多青少年感到自己被遗忘了，而这些措施是强加给他们的，没有任何解释。这可能导致，就像在 20 世纪 40 年代一样，青少年感到被政治家利用和妖魔化。
我们认为，在这两种情况下，占主导地位的压抑氛围都助长了类似的行为和心理机制。因此，我们建议，与其妖魔化年轻人，不如努力让他们参与决策过程，以提高他们对情况的理解，并鼓励他们感到被包容。
