TESSITURAS E ALINHAVOS: UM DIÁLOGO ENTRE O FILME “CLUB DO IMPERADOR” E A OBRA “PEDAGOGIA DA AUTONOMIA”, DE PAULO FREIRE

Abstract

This paper aims to establish a dialogue between the film “The Emperor’s Club” (2002) and the book “Pedagogy of Autonomy: Necessary Knowledge for Educational Practice” by Paulo Freire (1996), in order to highlight theoretical contributions to the reflection on the pedagogical practices portrayed in the film. From a qualitative perspective, first, a study of Paulo Freire’s work was carried out immediately after the film was shown, and finally, the textual writing of the dialogue between the film and Paulo Freire’s work Pedagogy of Autonomy was carried out. In this way, we can see that Freire’s approach corroborates the teacher’s actions when faced with the challenge faced by the student Mr. Bell, who acted in a way that did not care about studying and always treated the serious subjects that were taught in the classroom by the teacher as jokes. During this study, it was possible to see how much the teacher must be truly involved in the learning process of his students, believing that they are capable and investing what they can to facilitate this process. Only in this way can a teacher truly put his or her commitment to teaching into his or her actions. It is important to remember that a teacher is one of the main constructors of knowledge, and is a common factor in the lives of several students at the same time.
