MENDONCA, Samuel and VENTUROSO, Amanda. Experience as phenomenon: the need for a new language in education in Jorge Larrosa. Conjectura: filos. e Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.25, e020010. ISSN 2178-4612. https://doi.org/10.18226/21784612.v25.e020010.
The study consisted in a discussion of the concept of experience from the Larrosian perspective, based on the book Tremores. It originated from the question: Does the concept of experience as phenomenon provide grounds to the need for a new educational language? The method consisted of a bibliographic research initiated from the review of the literature on the topic, systematic analysis of the book Tremores, and study of the concepts of phenomenon in Martin Heidegger and experience in Walter Benjamin. As result, the concept of experience is expressed as a rarity and should be pondered as a phenomenon capable of creating new meaning. For Larrosa, pondering on new senses is the same as pondering on new realities, having as base the senses generated by mechanisms of subjectivation existing in each individual. Being the senses individual and subjective, they are responsible for showing a form of experience to each individual. Therefore, the matter refers to the need to rethink the languages from which emerge the world of each individual, and beyond that, to ponder pedagogy as transforming what already exists through language. Language makes possible understanding oneself and others in an abstract reality that has departed from words and has distanced itself from true experiences and in a real world understood as phenomenon. Lastly, the study has evidenced the need of a new language for education in Jorge Larrosa’s work as a need to strengthen the potency existing within those who listen and those who speak, those who do not wish to put an end to the subject’s identity, to destroy it, but wish to provide other possibilities so this identity be open to new meanings as to build the phenomenon, the opening itself and the knowledge.
