ROSADO, Luiz Alexandre da Silva; LEMGRUBER, Márcio Silveira; FERREIRA, Giselle Martins dos Santos  and  BOHADANA, Estrella D'Alva Benaion. From Metropolis to The Matrix: art and philosophy in training of education researchers. LTP [online]. 2015, vol.33, n.64, pp.97-110. ISSN 2317-0972.  https://doi.org/10.2014/LTP-v33n64jan0007.

This article examines a post-graduate teaching and learning experience conducted with basis on an approach that explores aesthetic awareness via fi lm, literature and philosophy, as a means to challenge polarised views of the relationship between technology and education, which are represented in utopian and dystopian discourses in both the media and the pertinent academic literature. The subject was intended to value the students' experiences and to encourage them to reflect upon education, contemporary society and the presence of technologies, questioning extreme positions that ignore ambivalences. The first time the subject was introduced 18 students participated, and they proposed 295 questions along the semester. The article presents a reflection on the experience and the findings of a thematic analysis of these questions. Despite the strong presence of binary, analogic, and comparative questions, in addition to questions that essentialize objects and institutions, the experience suggests that art and philosophy can challenge established, yet uncritical, convictions.

Keywords : Researcher Training; Information and Communication Technologies; Art.
