ARGUMEDO, Malvina. Daydream on a childhood with the clay. child.philo [online]. 2017, vol.13, n.26, pp.5-20. ISSN 1984-5987.  https://doi.org/10.12957/childphilo.2017.26261.

This work proposes a series of reflections around the ideas of time and existence starting from the thought of Emmanuel Levinas, placing them in dialogue with a kind of poetic adventure that Manoel de Barros embodies in his narrative, as a crossing of memory by time and Space of childhood. We start from the question of the possibility of dwelling the very time of existence as a return to a new and actualizable child time, to an infant being as the beginning of other ways of being, and we propose an invitation to recreate the possible variations between time as temporality and its relations with otherness and education. The time thought here also refers to the idea of an event as a space conducive to experience, as an opportunity for other modes of thinking, the temporality disconnected from prescribed intentions and anticipations, a space moved before the radically Other, in the Levinasian sense that understands time as a "Widening" of individual existence and as an opening to the Other and to the Other as part of the relationship itself with otherness. These themes are, in turn, crossed by experiences, looks and feelings born of school contexts of work with hospitalized children, where we are questioned by the educational event as an instance to put into play singular senses of existence and of a novel time experience, inwhich the reflections around the existence and the times of being infant connect vitally to the suffering and the ethical question about the finitude.
