Who is the child? Taking this question as a starting point and making use of children’s literature as a source for decoding the complexity of the object-child, the contribution investigates, starting with the works of Beatrice Alemagna, read from an eco-feminist perspective, how the conditions of defectiveness and marginality peculiar to childhood -inscribed in the etymology of the very words by which it has been historically named- can be revelatory devices of a profound interconnection between visible and invisible, human and non-human, telling of new, possible ways of inhabiting the cosmos.
