As imagens e vozes em documentários produzidos por crianças e adolescentes: um estudo de caso do projeto Semente Escola de Educação Audiovisual

Abstract

The present study seeks to understand how children and adolescents construct images and discourses of themselves and their environment in short documentaries. In order to do so, it investigates documentary productions carried out by this audience within the actions of the Semente – Escola de Educação Audiovisual, held in the state of Paraíba, in order to understand the potential of cinema as a tool for identity construction and belonging even for such young subjects. Taking as an object of analysis: A roda das gerações de coco ( 2018) and Um pouco do porto (2019) in the documentary, we go into the respective authors such as Stuart Hall (2006; 2016), with regard to cultural and representational issues, Bill Nichols (2005), to the to address the perception and sensitivity of documentary in contemporary times, Cezar Migliorin (2015) – on cinema as a learning device and Paulo Freire (2004), when instantiating the pedagogy of autonomy as a way of forming the subject. From the idea of voices and characteristics of the images created by them, such as children and adolescents, as well as the social framing made by children and adolescents, it was possible to confirm a hypothesis that even it was produced by subjects as young as productions presentations as the identity, sociopolitical and representational actions and positioning of the self and the other.
