Resumo
O presente artigo é uma reflexão sobre a invenção da infância como um artefato biopolítico, como pensa Paul Beatriz Preciado, e esforços contemporâneos de romper com o primado do controle exercido sobre nós por intermédio do dispositivo de sexualidade. A partir do uso de fragmentos de textos literários de Caio Fernando Abreu e Márcio El-Jaick, escritores brasileiros contemporâneos, busca-se compreender algumas operações institucionais que exigem coerência e unidade na experiência infantil, principalmente no tocante ao tema da sexualidade. Nos textos de Abreu e El-Jaick em análise, encontramos uma abordagem renovada e crítica da experiência de si na infância, rompendo com a idealização da infância e a patologização compulsória de afetos minoritários. Por intermédio do artigo, estabelece-se um diálogo com o pensamento de Walter Benjamin e Michel Foucault na tentativa de defender que outros modos de ser criança tornam a arena política em que nos encontramos mais densa e aberta para novos regimes de si.
Palavras-chave: escrita de si; infância; literatura.
Abstract
This article is a reflection on the invention of childhood as a bio-political artifact as conceived by Paul Beatriz Preciado, and an examination of contemporary efforts to break away from the primacy of control exerted on us by means of the dispositif of sexuality. Using fragments from literary texts by contemporary Brazilian writers such as Caio Fernando Abreu and Marcio El-Jaick, we seek to understand institutional operations that dictate consistency and unity in the experience of childhood, especially with regard to sexuality. In the texts by Abreu and El-Jaick, we find a renewed approach and a critique of the experience of self in childhood which breaks with the idealization of childhood and the compulsory pathologization of minor affects. We engage in dialogue with the thought of Walter Benjamin and Michel Foucault to argue that other ways of being-child have been making the political arena denser and more open to new regimes of self.
Keywords: writing of the self; childhood; literature.
