Wim Winters, Cinema, Childhood, AestheticsAbstract
The aim of this paper is to take childhood as an aesthetic expression in two films by the German Wim Wenders: Alice in the cities and Lisbon Story. To this end, it seeks to put in touch both Oeuvres, in which each of them appears simultaneously as a historical testimony and synthesis of issues that concern the existence and the very possibilities of cinema. Therefore, love, friendship, memory, re-elaboration of the past, cities, progress and regression, as well as the techniques of capturing and producing images and sounds, the destinations and the memory of cinema as a dream unconscious appear of an era. The support is found mainly in Walter Benjamin, not so much in his comments on cinema, but much more in what he wrote about childhood in the city, thus demarcating, as Wenders will do, a childish look, oblique in relation to the his destiny, but not infantilized, on the things of the world.
