The research is based on the understanding that cinema, beyond entertainment, functions as an important space for the construction of social meanings and cultural representations. In this context, the study investigates how the film articulates elements of vampire cinema to build metaphors related to structural racism and the historical exploitation of Black culture. Methodologically, this research is qualitative in nature, based on bibliographic review and film analysis, drawing on cultural studies, film theory, and racial studies. Initially, the paper discusses the historical trajectory of Black Hollywood cinema, highlighting transformations in the representation of Black characters throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It then examines the tradition of vampire cinema, understanding the vampire as a symbolic figure often associated with exploitation, contamination, and alterity. The analysis indicates that the film uses vampirism as a metaphor to represent processes of cultural appropriation and the consumption of Black artistic production by dominant social structures. The study concludes that the film belongs to the contemporary tradition of racial horror, in which the genre operates as a critical tool to expose historical inequalities and challenge representations of the Black experience in cinema.

In contrast to the reductionism of contemporary pedagogies which do not consider the individual in all their dimensions, this research is anchored in the classical christian tradition to propose a comprehensive human formation. In this context, the present study aimed to analyze the Ordo Amoris from the perspective of Classical Christian Education and its relevance to the integral formation of the individual. The specific objectives were: identifying the foundations of Classical Christian Education and the concept of Ordo Amoris of the influential classical philosopher Augustine of Hippo; discussing how the disorder of affections can be one of the main underlying causes of the intellectual and purpose crisis in contemporary education; and reflecting on how the student's affections are directly linked to their learning process. This research follows a basic, literature-based methodology, analyzing works central to the tradition of Classical Christian Education and the Liberal Arts curriculum, and above all, it focuses on Augustine of Hippo, the author underpinning this entire inquiry as the formulator of the concept of Ordo Amoris. The reflections of the research indicated that Classical Christian Education proposes a formation that goes beyond the mere transmission of content, seeking to integrate knowledge, virtue, and wisdom. In this regard, Ordo Amoris demonstrates that the educational process involves not only intellectual instruction, but also the ordering of human affections, orienting them toward that which is true, good, and beautiful.

However, a gap can be observed between the sociocultural reality of students living in inland regions and the foreign language, which, although present on social media and other digital platforms, is still perceived as something distant. Such a scenario may compromise students’ engagement in the learning process, which is reflected, among other aspects, in their lower participation in classroom activities. In light of this reality, the present study aims to investigate whether the use of games can constitute an effective pedagogical resource to stimulate students’ active participation in English language classes. To this end, the study is based on authors such as Fadel and Ulbricht (2014), Amarante et al. (2017), Push and Krivoshlykova (2022), and Bueno (2015), who discuss gamification and the use of games in the educational context. The research is characterized as exploratory and qualitative, with a deductive approach, and is configured as a case study based on the observations recorded by the researcher in her supervised internship report. The results indicate that the use of gamification contributed to increasing students’ participation, highlighting the potential of games as a pedagogical strategy in the teaching of English.

Such investigation considers socio-cultural, gender, and racial intersections and the way expressions of love manifest themselves in the novel. The research also explores how such affective-loving expressions are inflected by multiple narrative temporalities, seeking to understand how time and memory affect the construction of loving practices and the construction of relationships in the novel, focusing on the impact on Sethe, Baby Suggs and Denver. Thus, the research focuses on the effects that different forms of love have on the construction of characters and the way they act and exercise love. This study is qualitative in nature, developing an interpretive analysis, with excerpts from the novel being collected for analysis in dialogue with concepts such as self-love and community love, wake (vestígio/vigília), spiral time, colonial time, controlling images and rememory. To this end, the following texts were used as theoretical foundations: Tudo sobre o amor, by bell hooks (2021); No vestígio: negridade e existência, by Christina Sharpe (2023); and Descolonizando afetos, by Geni Núñez (2023), as well as texts by Patricia Hill Collins (2000), Grada Kilomba (2019), Toni Morrison (2020) and Audre Lorde (2019). Finally, the reflections of the analyses point to the existence of a significant impact of the three expressions of love — self-love, maternal love and community love — analyzed in the work regarding the construction of relationships and identity of the characters, as well as contributions to the promotion of their healing processes in temporalities that challenge the notion of linearity. It is also worth noting that the work highlights the importance of investigating productions such as Beloved, where the perspectives of Black voices, historically neglected and silenced, are explored and recognized Editor: Universidade Federal da Paraíba Tipo: TCC 2026-03-20T00:00:00Z
