CHILDREN'S CULTURAL EXPERIENCES

Abstract

This paper aims to address the relationship between childhood and culture. From this, it aims to reflect on the relationship between children and their cultural experiences in contemporary times and the interferences in the formation of children and in the constitution of childhood itself. Thus, it may involve some reflections on the experiences lived by children based on the culture of the media and new technologies. The contributions of philosopher Walter Benjamin are used as a reference to look critically at the cultural experiences made available to children and to understand children also by the social place they occupy. This is a bibliographic study, with a qualitative approach, which was guided by the analysis of the relationship between children and their cultural experiences. The studies carried out indicate that, in the face of a new historical and cultural scenario, of new cultural productions and experiences, it is necessary to pay attention to the experiences lived by children and the changes that are occurring in their subjectivity, in their behavior and in their ways of thinking and acting. This includes thinking about the important role that schools play in the formation and expansion of children's cultural repertoire.
