This paper tries to locate and discuss some
spaces and times from Theodor W. Adorno production that are related to body and its expressions, looking for a territory in which this category can be in his thinking. In this context emerges the theme of subjective education, and the impasses and possibilities/impossibilities of contemporary subject and childhood, place in which I localize the Bildung. By the end, I present some considerations on the contradictory character that body meets in the Adorno’s work – domain object, but also the resistance to the predominance of instrumental reason – and of the paradoxes that involve the memory of the bourgeois practices that, ironically, make remember the subjective contemporaneous possibilities. My theoretical-methodological way, as it could not be the other, is the own dialectic project, the philosophical fragments of the Dialectic of Enlightenment.
