Playing Cinema: Gender, Sexuality and Violence in the Production of Children’s Animations

Abstract

Concerning the discussions in the ambit of the post-doctor internship in education over the experience held in the production of cartoons, with elementary school fifth grade children, from a municipal public school in the city of Campo Grande/MS. The theoretical framework is from Gender and Cultural studies and Foucault presumptions. The experience of producing five cartoons, from 2010 to 2015 is thought with two axis: first, making cinema and, second, making cinema as fun and as a way of subjectivity. In the meetings of research-intervention, we chose for the cinematic language to think the themes sexualities, gender and violence against children. Cinema demonstrated to be an important window for seeing ourselves and seeing the world.
