CORREA, Mirele  and  MONTEIRO, Alexandrina. CINEMA AT SCHOOL: A WAR MACHINE AGAINST NARCISSIST PERFORMANCE VIOLENCE?. e-Curriculum [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.1, pp.282-303.  Epub Aug 05, 2019. ISSN 1809-3876.  https://doi.org/10.23925/1809-3876.2019v17i1p282-303.

In the current context of curriculum policies, there is a proliferation of new managerialism in schools which leaves the private sector and invades the public sector in order to qualify the management process and improve results. This new managerialism, according to Ball (2006), is producing a culture of performativity, constituting bodies that are increasingly concerned with the results, performance and qualification of oneself. But beyond a performative and multipurpose body, the culture of performativity produces narcissistic violence at the level of small differences related to the production and exclusion of the other in the school context. What we intend with this text is to think about the contingency of the violence produced by the contemporary school through the culture of performativity, and on the counterflow, to question: can the cinema put itself as a war machine in the production of lines of escape to the immanently aggressive desires in the sense of potentiating another ethic for existence that exceeds that of neoliberal performative logic? We call the discussion and composition of this thinking some post-structuralist theorists: Foucault (1999, 2008, 2010), Deleuze (1988, 2013), Ball (2003, 2010), Skliar (2016), and others who studies focused on cinema: Miranda (2015, 2016), Migliorin (2015), Oliveira Jr, (2016), Gonçalves (2014). We believe that through some experiments developed by the Laboratory of Audiovisual Studies-EYE, new clues can be followed in order to build other bodies through the cinema, other ethics, other ways and styles of being and being in life.
