REYES GARCIA, Samy Z.. Notes about childhood and the literature from Deleuze-Guattari and Schérer-Hocquenghem. Rev. filos. Univ. Iberoam. [online]. 2023, vol.55, n.154, pp.248-295.  Epub May 17, 2024. ISSN 2954-4602.  https://doi.org/10.48102/rdf.v55i154.168.

The present work relates the problem of childhood within modern and contemporary philosophy, as well as the conceptual relation that it has with the literature, especially with which it is analyzed as a children’s novel and a family novel. Taking from the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari, as well as Schérer and Hocquenghem, along with fragments of novels, it seeks to establish a critique of notions of ontology and liberty that modernity has established around childhood. This criticism will allow us to understand childhood and its possible emancipation as the plastic alternative to create new subjectivities or political experiences within the world.
