AESTHETIC / POETICAL ENCOUNTERS BETWEEN MUSIC AND BABIES IN NURSERY SCHOOL

Abstract

This essay approaches the intimacy between the aesthetic and poetic dimensions of language in the context of nursery school and proposes a phenomenological listening of encounters between adults and babies through the experience of music as a playful action of the expressive body in the world. Considering that without aesthetics life lacks flavor and without poetics it lacks sense, the article focuses on the merleaupontian understanding of the sensitive body as the primary source of significance to assert the inseparability between sensitive and intelligible in the action of learning to co-exist. The educational intention is to claim another rationality to stand up to the simplifying trend in encounters between adults and babies with the plurality of ways of interacting in language. Thus, thinking the aesthetic and poetic event - in the sense of poiesis and aisthesis terms - the link between sound and silence with life taken as its reflexive starting point - not what the baby does but how he experiences what he does in the musical encounters in nursery school. This study allows us to assert the vital and playful power of the expressive body feeling itself and the world in the plurality of ways of being in language that empowers everyday life through acting, producing, creating, doing.
