Resumen

El artículo surge de un acontecimiento compartido que se transformó en una experiencia: el descubrimiento de un pedazo infantil de papel, de camino a una conferencia sobre filosofía en las escuelas, y cómo ese encuentro afecta nuestras ideas educativas y prácticas de investigación sobre la escucha a los niños. Movidas por la pregunta de qué significa escuchar, nos vemos conducidas a un ejercicio de autocuestionamiento inspirado por algunos de los autores que ya han escrito sobre el tema, específicamente en el contexto de la comunidad de investigación filosófica.

El pensar se despliega con la narración de la historia del pedazo de papel encontrado, pasando por diferentes niveles de cuestionamiento, e intentando mantener la investigación abierta para los lectores: ¿qué es lo que no sabemos sobre escuchar a los niños? ¿Y hasta qué punto eso que no sabemos podría ser la causa de prácticas sesgadas y adultistas? ¿Será necesario volver sobre qué es la filosofía y dónde podemos encontrarla dentro del ambiente escolar? ¿Será que la filosofía ya está ahí cuando los adultos llegan? ¿Será que no estamos escuchándola? ¿O es que existen lugares específicos para diálogos y conversaciones filosóficas, tales como el salón de clases? ¿También está invitada la filosofía a los márgenes de esos espacios? ¿Quién decide lo que cuenta como filosófico?

No se trata de responder preguntas o de acabar con nuestras preocupaciones como educadoras e investigadoras, sino de compartir con los lectores cómo hasta en el lugar menos pensado -un evento académico sobre llevar la filosofía a las escuelas- podemos aun no estar escuchando a los niños. Volviendo a este movimiento de autocuestionamiento, queremos hacernos eco de algunas problematizaciones del pensar y de las prácticas de escucha dentro del llamado movimiento de Filosofía para/con Niños: este fenómeno del para/con, su política y sus relaciones; algunos de los supuestos que pueden estar presentes en los dilemas de la práctica de educadores e investigadores; pero también sus resonancias estéticas, la pura belleza del problematizar, la (des)afinación del autocuestionamiento, las preguntas que nos suscita en cuanto investigadoras y los espacios de duda e incertidumbre que nos ofrece, como una vacilación u ocasión para respirar. Y tal vez, pensamos, sea en esos entre-espacios, en sus rendijas y transiciones, que las cosas importantes pueden encontrar su camino hacia nuestro pensamiento y nuestras conversaciones sobre la infancia. Tal como un pedazo de papel en un cuarto de hotel.
