Teaching film: scope, concerns, disputes

Abstract

To look together at cinema and education throws an agenda of issues to discuss, some of them inherent to the (im)possibility of articulating the terms in question and others related to the particular modes that this activity assumes in our time: those added by the coordinates of educational institutions, with their grammar, their unresolved problems, their contexts and their controversial effectiveness as spaces of transmission. This paper aims to map this agenda, locating some of these problems and their scope, a map that whoever can expand, subvert or question.
