“Faça a coisa certa”: o uso do cinema como ferramenta pedagógica para educação nas relações étnico-raciais.

Abstract

This article makes a theoretical-methodological approach on how to use cinematographic works as teaching tools in the teaching of History in basic education, involving themes related to ethnic-racial education. With the purpose of problematizing suggestions that can be used by teachers in the application of films as pedagogical mechanisms. For this purpose, bibliographical reviews were carried out together with an analysis of the film "Do the Right Thing" (1989) by the American filmmaker Spike Lee, presenting suggestions on how best to use specific scenes of the film analyzed within the school context. It was noticed through the questions raised in this article that there is a multitude of applications for film works in the classroom, and that can be an interesting way to bring to the center of the debate in the school context thematic axes directed to the ethnic-racial question. The points presented in this paper are aimed at opening up the possibilities for teachers to use, cinema as a tool to create empathy in the pupil with the ethnic-racial discussions in their daily lives.
