MATOS, Susana Brissos de  e  VIEIRA, Paula Alexandra. Philosophy of childhood and children's political participation: poli(s)phonic challenges. child.philo [online]. 2023, vol.19, e70501.  Epub 25-Fev-2023. ISSN 1984-5987.  https://doi.org/10.12957/childphilo.2023.70501.

What challenges does the political participation of children pose to the philosophy of childhood? What challenges does the philosophy of childhood pose to children's political participation? To explore these issues, we have created an illustrated narrative text written in the form of a dialogue between two characters-Sentinel and Wanderer-who discuss the waves of children spread over their territory and the possibilities afforded them for participation in politics. The fictional narrative is organized in order to act as a stimulus for communal inquiry in the study group to which we belong, and informs our work with children in the philosophical research community. We establish an articulation between the act of listening to children's voices, the conditions of that listening, and the possible places and spaces for their political participation in the public space that follows. To what extent does creating space and time for listening to children open polyphonic dimensions and enable the construction of new forms of polis: poly(s)phonies? In what ways does the philosophy of childhood challenge itself in the creation of poly(s)phonies, settings in which the participation of children sets the tone? And in what ways does the philosophy of childhood in turn challenge us to create poly(s)phonies of our own?

Palavras-chave : philosophy of childhood; listening; political participation of children; poli(s)phonies.
