Teatro e sensibilidade na poética diderotiana : uma fonte para formação estética

Abstract

This paper analyzes the Conversations between Dorval and the character "I" in Denis Diderot's play The Natural Son, aiming to identify the theatrical reforms that led to the emergence of the Serious Genre, a new dramatic proposal in the 18th century. Through a critical approach, the study seeks to understand how these theatrical reforms redefined the theater of the time, establishing a pedagogical and aesthetic model capable of influencing the ethical and sensitive development of individuals. The research investigates how aspects of the Serious Genre can impact this development and what parameters characterize the genre proposed by Diderot. The methodology adopted is a literature review, based on a critical analysis of Diderot's works and those of other theorists of aesthetic education, situating the author's thought within the historicalphilosophical context of the 18th century and drawing parallels with contemporary theories. The main objective is to explore the Conversations and present aesthetic education as essential for the formation of sensitive and rational individuals capable of acting critically within society. By revisiting Diderot's proposals, the study aims to reaffirm the importance of art in education and in constructing a more ethical, reflective, and creative society.
