GALAZZI, Laura. The drifts of cinematic thinking as stimuli for the teaching of philosophy. Prax. Saber [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.29, pp.95-109.  Epub Oct 16, 2021. ISSN 2216-0159.  https://doi.org/10.19053/22160159.v12.n29.2021.11607.

In this article, film is considered as a way of thinking. Three modes of cinematic thinking are explored, based on general theoretical classifications emerging in film studies, with the aim of elaborating possible contributions to the teaching of philosophy. The first is based on classical cinema and is connected to an instrumental perspective on the use of film in education, which aims to enhance logical-rational skills or to be a critical tool of instrumental rationality. The second mode refers to the explorations of modern cinema. This thinking is connected to the ways of working in philosophy teaching, which is open to affects, bodies and other perspectives of contemporary pedagogical-philosophical explorations. Finally, it is proposed, based on digital cinema, to incorporate the production of audiovisuals as a way of working in the philosophy classroom. The aesthetic-political foundations of this need are developed and the kind of consumption of images in contemporary culture is discussed. Then, the experience of a workshop on the production of one-minute films in which we worked from this perspective is documented.
