Keywords:
Phenomenology, Body, Childhood, TemporalityAbstract
In Children's drawing as a representation of lived time. Merleau-Ponty and Piaget in the understanding of temporality, the development of the notion of temporality in early childhood is analyzed from a phenomenological perspective, postulating the body and the manipulation of objects in the world as crucial factors in this process. In the first place, the author develops the analysis of the children's drawing made by Merleau-Ponty in The Prose of the World and the courses L'experiece d'autrui, Structure et conflits de la conscience enfantine and Méthode en psychologie de l'enfant, all of them present in the Cours de Sorbonne about childhood and pedagogy. In the second place, some Piaget's works on infantile temporality are analyzed in order to delve into the thesis that Merleau-Ponty maintains in the courses on the expression around the learning of time in the world itself. Finally, the author analyzes and delves into the merleaupontyan critique of Piaget's conception of the infantile temporal experience, in order to elucidate the thesis of the French phenomenologist about it and understand from there the experience of subjective time in adult life (or, rather, the general experience of time). In this way, the infantile aesthetic experience is presented by Merleau-Ponty as eminently phenomenological, as the representation of lived time that has not yet been assimilated by the culturalization and by standardized ways of living time and space.
