Cinema and Education: a history of the discourses in favor of cinematography in schools

ABSTRACT

The cinema since its invention was quickly used to educate. Although it was also rejected, it has never stopped being used at school. Of course, this dynamic was not natural. It was the result of approaches and ideas that interpreted it as positive to achieve moral, aesthetic and cognitive objectives. Through a historical perspective, this text presents seven educational, technological, cultural and economic arguments that explain the continuity of this relationship, that is, the reasons, events and representations that throughout history have determined the use of cinema in the school.
