AÇÃO CULTURAL PARA LIBERTAÇÃO: OS ERROS METODOLÓGICOS EVIDENCIADOS PELO FILME “O POÇO”

Abstract

Paulo Freire can be considered a reference in contemporary liberating thought. His theoretical construction was able to systematize a theory of dialectical collective actions, thinking not only about understanding the society of the time and its praxis mechanisms, but also a counterpoint to this praxis, thinking not about social perpetuation, but about changing concrete reality. However, although there are theoretical and methodological subsidies of cultural action for liberation, whether in social movements or in the school as a social sphere responsible for human formation, it can often be observed liberating practices that use methodologies of the dominant groups in their development. Thus, this work aims to analyze the education for liberation contained in the film "The Well" seeking to clarify the coherent processes of emancipation of the oppressed, according to the perspective of Paulo Freire. The research is qualitative in nature, using the assumptions of documentary research for the constitution of data. The analysis of the constituted data takes place deductively and is based on the theory of Paulo Freire's Liberating Education. Through art, it is possible to take epistemological distance from concrete reality to admire it, in this way, analyzing the film "The Well" as a historical document reveals facts commonly forgotten by the doing of cultural action for liberation. With this, it is increasingly urgent to revisit the critical theories of cultural action for liberation, whether general or applied directly to the school, because capitalist realism makes it impossible to act authentically transgressive.
