Memórias do futuro: se eu quiser desejar o irreal, pode o cinema materializá-lo?

Abstract

Out of all social sectors that the cinema and audiovisual reach in influence, we dedicate the following monograph to the education one. Not exclusively concerning the pedagogical aspect, but also to what corresponds its feasibility to the formation of critical and socially acting and influential individuals. The main goal is to present the defense, methodology, and results of an initiative of courses to young public High School students in the city of Cachoeira called Voz em Cena. The course was elaborated and executed through the recognition of Cinema and Audiovisual as powerful tools of social emancipation by young students’ identity affirmations that may come to tell their own stories through sound and art. For such presentation, this monograph comes from an understanding of cinema and education’s field in order to position the proposal of the course, later, from a Freirean defense of “dodiscência” that describes the construction and teacher/pupil relationship and, lastly, we deepen the used methodology in the course through its activities and ideal educational material. Under this view, the cinema as a social mediator may be reconstructed as a culture of access to revolutionary bases, being an important ally in the resetting of a hegemonic system that violates insurgent bodies.
