Path: from the visual motif to the pedagogical motivations

Abstract

This is an critical analysis about path as a cinematic visual motif in two films by Abbas Kiarostami, Where is the Friend´s Home? (1987) and Taste of Cherry (1997), establishing its by cinema. The objective is to discuss the learning informed by cinematic language in school through the pedagogical relations between adults and children, as well as cinema, education and imagination. The analysis starts from the critical studies made by Ragel (2016), Bergala (2008) and Bernardet (2004) on the cinematic language of Abbas Kiarostami, who developed a poetic language and reflection about life. Other audiovisual productions and educational experiences with cinema are connected with theories about childhood, educational processes, and subjectivities. This text aims at pedagogical paths of approach between adults and children, teachers and students in relations that respect otherness and special features.
