Abstract

Este estudo de natureza teórica busca evidenciar aspectos da infância presentes na obra de Benjamin, a partir da ideia de limiar. Encontramo-nos com ela em lugares do pensamento onde o filósofo se detém sobre a importância das zonas limiares e dos locais de passagens para uma experiência com o moderno. Tais lugares do pensamento sinalizam e indicam marcas que contribuem para conferir à infância sua modernidade, bem como abrem caminho para pensar os sentidos da infância no tempo presente. Nossa hipótese é de que a ideia de infância é atravessada por núcleos conceituais e imagéticos importantes na obra do autor, como força mobilizadora, tanto desses conceitos como da ideia de infância. Foram encontrados sinais de um pensamento que brinca com as noções constituintes da imagem da infância da qual fala o autor. É justamente esse "brincar filosófico" o que aproxima a noção benjaminiana de infância de ideias densas e conceitos importantes, no contexto de suas reflexões, como a noção de limiar.

Highlights

  • This theoretical study seeks to highlight aspects of childhood, present in the work of Benjamin, from the idea of threshold. We meet with her in places of thought where the philosopher pauses, with acuity, about the importance of threshold zones and places of passage for an experience with the modern. Such places of thought signal and indicate marks that contribute to give infancy its modernity, as well as, way to think the senses of childhood in the present time

  • That we have found signs of a spark of thought that plays with the notions that form the image of childhood in which the author speaks

  • It is precisely this "philosophical play" which brings the notion of childhood from which Benjamin treats of dense ideas and concepts important in his reflections as the notion of threshold
