O discurso político brasileiro sobre o nexo pedagógico entre cinema e educação (1910-1930)

Abstract

This article is a synthetic exposition of research pertaining to the camp of Archaeological Discourse Analysis, rooted in Michael Foucault (2012), which seeks to investigate discourse pertaining to the pedagogical nexus of cinema and education in Brazil during the first three decades of the twentieth century. The temporal sample espoused here is merely indicative of the phase in which the defence of cinema as an auxiliary resource for teaching became current in Brazilian society, but should not be viewed as a strict chronological delimitation of a period. The description of the discourse investigated concentrates on the crossover with the modality of discourse politics. It is responsible for bringing to light a series of signatory statements of the discursive order under analysis, which consists in the defence of cinema as a resource to facilitate education, build identity and promote civil identity and national development.
