Abstract

MARCELLO, Fabiana de Amorim. Cinema e educação: da criança que nos convoca à imagem que nos afronta. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2008, vol.13, n.38, pp.343-356. ISSN 1413-2478.

In this article, I develop the concept of the child by analysing, by means of film images, not a wishful truth about the child, but rather the child's desire for affirmative power. First, I present the distinction between wishful truth (for knowledge) about the child and the child's desire for affirmative power. Then, based on authors such as Foucault, Badiou and Xavier, I present some methodological conclusions about the concept of image, relating them to the world of cinema. My arguments are based on texts that deal with this concept as something completely distanced from notions of representation and perspectives that function as if the image were able to capture in itself a "something real" that is external to itself. Finally, I briefly discuss some films and the way in which they pitch us into the universe of child-power and the dispersion of the image: from the universe of creation, the new and the unpredictable.

Keywords : Child; Cinema; Image.
