MUELLER, RAFAEL RODRIGO; CECHINEL, ANDRÉ  and  ALVES, ISMAEL GONÇALVES. FORMATIVE AND SOCIO-CONSTITUTIVE ASPECTS FROM THE “HEART, HEAD AND HANDS” IN J. H. PESTALOZZI AND THE FRITZ LANG´S METROPOLIS.

In the light of the new wave of nationalist movements that are emerging today in various parts of the world, and also in Brazil, this article intends to discuss the totalizing dimension of the famous formative triad of German pedagogue Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, “heart, head, and hands," as well as its subsequent appropriation in the film Metropolis, by Fritz Lang. In order to compare Pestalozzi's proposal and Lang's film, the present paper is divided into two fundamental moments: first, it focuses on the theoretical conception of the triad "heart, head, and hands"; after that, the paper analyzes the movie Metropolis, emphasizing its re-reading of the formative triad here in question. In general, the intention is to call attention both to the conservative use of Pestalozzi's formula and the possibility of its partial or integral appropriation in order to naturalize inequalities and censor the desire to debate them, a characteristic gesture of our time.

Keywords : Nationalism; Pestalozzi; Fritz Lang; Metropolis; Education.
