Genre reproductions by cinematography: pathways to education?

Abstract

The research discusses the historical ideologies transmitted by cinematography, which cause the loss of meaning, insensitivity and intellectual stiffness by the absence of (self) criticism. Thus, this hermeneutic type of study proposes to look at the conceptions of gender and sexuality conveyed by cinema, in an attempt to review their repercussions on the experience of educational thinking. The shared problems need an attentive and critical-reflexive sensitivity to productions, to resist the spread of inequalities, exclusions and prejudices, the only way to generate new understandings through intersubjective processes, breaking with the fads to make this device an aggregating vehicle of experiences. humanizing social practices oriented towards the recognition of differences. Underlying film productions is the dominance of the cultural industry, which in its market logic promotes the repetition of certain discourses until they become passive truths in the face of the world. In this scenario marked by technical reproducibility, we show that there is little resistance from the film industry, which reveals gender and sexuality paradigms, highlighting contemporary issues. We conclude that these technological artifacts in education need to serve as impulses to rethink human action under penalty of the teaching processes reproducing exclusion, prejudice, uniformity and insensitivity to others and the plurality of experiences. It is about correcting the deformations of recognition through re-education that enhances human differences and social recognition.
