Aesthetic experiences with cinema: education and development of affections
experience; education; cinema; affections; Historical-Cultural Theory
The research investigates a child's aesthetic experiences concerning his father's cinema, between 1994 and 1995. To achieve this, Vygotsky's Historical-Cultural Theory is used as a method, and the unity of experience is used as a methodological path. Since this is also an investigative work about the past, the methodological tools are memories, constructed through photographs, VHS footage, and the accounts of people who participated in these moments in one way or another. This material will help us access Bento's experiences with Seu Francisco's cinema. Thus, we investigate the democratic and emancipatory potential of cinema, as a destabilizer of the traditional hierarchical teaching model, providing an environment where children have the freedom to create and express themselves, developing their intellectual-affective unity. As an educational strategy for children to appropriate cinematographic art, we propose transmediation. Through research, we want to understand how the art of cinema can enable access to emotions and be a catalyst for education and the development of affection.
