Abstract

OLIVEIRA JR, Wenceslao Machado de. The example of Agrado: image, technics and authenticity. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2005, n.26, pp.53-65. ISSN 0104-4060.

Taking the character Agrado, from the Pedro Almodovar‘s movie All about my mother, the author essays some propositions about another way to understand the authenticity of an image for the human body - unlinked from the nature and attached to the urban culture and to the technology that have been allowing the materialization of the dreamed body to anyone. In which way do the movies, and the examples provided by their characters showed at the screen, act to produce these body-images? Does the eye education by movie pictures allow a vision beyond the image? These are the questions proposed in this essay.

Keywords : Movie Pictures; Body; Authenticity; Technique; Education of Seeing.
