A filosofia benjaminiana da infância e possíveis diálogos com a educação popular.

With the aim of identifying similarities between the philosophy of Walter Benjamin, in his discussion of childhood, and some aspects of popular education, this article proposes, based on a theoretical analysis of benjaminian and freirean texts, the idea that it is possible to trigger the thought of the aforementioned Berlin philosopher as a basis for deepening reflections on popular educational practices. With this intention, we will not seek to make a eurocentric debate on popular education, but to understand how Benjamin, an intellectual engaged with the struggles of the working classes of the early twentieth century, elaborated pedagogical and political concepts that may be important for committed educators to forms of education aimed at overcoming oppression.
