Social Space of a Child’s Being in Wartime and Postwar Periods: an Attempt at Phenomenological Reconstruction
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: By employing methods of phenomenological and narrative analysis, the author traces the transformation of a child’s familial, educational, cultural, and interpersonal spheres of existence, while exploring their embodied, spatiotemporal, and intersubjective experience. It is demonstrated that, under conditions of trauma, a child navigates a renewed space of freedom, vulnerability, and moral renewal. The author substantiates the need to establish a new ethics of childhood in Ukraine, grounded in cultural memory, empathy, recognition of children’s wartime experiences, and support for their subjectivity during the post-war recovery process.
