FISCHER, Rosa Maria Bueno. Docência, cinema e televisão: questões sobre formação ética e estética. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2009, vol.14, n.40, pp.93-102. ISSN 1413-2478.

This text proposes to discuss the ethical and aesthetic education of teachers. The principal theoretical references are those concepts of Michel Foucault dealt with in his course entitled The hermeneutics of the subject. The text puts forward the argument that ethical and aesthetic education, as well as that for educating our perceptions and sensibility, can offer different possibilities for the improvement of teacher education. The author adopts the position that ethical and aesthetic education can be related to an audiovisual immersion experience, in order to expose students - in-service and pre-service teachers - to creative or non-conventional narratives from cinema and television, which are not part of the ordinary "images of spectacle". Based on authors like Foucault and ancient philosophers from Greece and Rome, as well as on the work of Alain Badiou, this paper focuses on the possibilities of establishing relations between philosophy and teacher education, using the example of three recent productions (one Brazilian television show and two American movies). Teaching is treated here as a privileged locus of experimentation, of transformation of the self and of permanent questioning about how we have become who we are, particularly in the field of education.

Keywords : Teacher Education; Cinema; Television; Ethics; Aesthetics.
