Abstract

This paper explores the notion of education of the senses in Walter Benjamin’s Diary of Moscow and Berlin Childhood: 1900, highlighting the important role of memory as the main formative element of individual and collective spheres. We argue that Benjamin’s thought identified a new configuration of sensitivity rising in modern metropolis, as well as in the figures of resistance and of thresholds, such as the child and the traveler.
