The meaning of the childhood in modern German philology and art theory-from the romanticism to Walter Benjamin.

本研究表明，浪漫主义作家克莱门斯·布伦塔诺作品中的童年意象与现代批评家瓦尔特·本雅明作品中的童年意象之间存在着某种联系。他们都认为孩子是一个失去了天堂的人物，他们的语言都带有消极性。布伦塔诺的儿童形象不同于所谓的“浪漫的儿童”，即一种神圣的象征。它代表了现代文学理论中儿童与语言概念的先驱模式。

This study has indicated that there is a relationship between the image of childhood in the works of Clemens Brentano, a romantic author, and the one of a modern critic Walter Benjamin. Both of them regard children as a figur which has lost the paradise and their language as marked by negativity. Brentano's image of the child is different from so-called "romantic child", namely a symbol of sacredness. It represents a pioneering modell for the concept of the child and language in modern literature theory.
