Abstract

SANCHES, Eduardo Oliveira. The childhoods of Benjamin, a chance to experience the modern. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2017, vol.31, n.61, pp.405-420. ISSN 1982-596x.  https://doi.org/10.14393/REVEDFIL.issn.0102-6801.v31n61a2017-p405a420.

In the child, the deviation, the repetition, the senses, are arrows that point to the game, the play, the ludic sensorial experience necessary to expand the human mimetic ability. Such capacity contributes so the child is able to adapt and transform the world in his/her surroundings. Benjamin radicalizes this idea and se eks, in his childhood memories, alternatives to an experience with modernity. This way, we intend to understand in this study how the deviation constitutes a method and is confused, in Benjamin, with mimesis functions; to reflect on the situations still lived in the sensory field of childhood and that transubstantiated in the Benjamin from the maturity in aesthetic experience and therefore, formative. Finally, we developed a hypothesis that childhood with Benjamininian problematic has a double demand: to think about the formation of the child and, at the same time, to rescue the idea of this childhood as the childhood of man as an experience.

Keywords : Childhood; Formative Experience; Aesthetic; Ludic; Desecration.
