@LUNO EM CENA: representações em filmes brasileiros sobre o estudante adolescente na era da informação

Abstract

This study deals with the establishment of representations about the teenager, turning to a field in which some of them have been produced in the early 2010s: Brazilian cinema. On to the thematic Media and Education, aiming to discuss how these representations are produced, it starts from the premise that this media vehicle is following the trend of placing the teenager in a position of centrality in contemporary culture, and simultaneously, has been promoting the pedagogical character assumed by media discourses about adolescence. The work uses the concepts of discourse, power, knowledge and subject, as were developed by Michel Foucault, putting him in conversation with theorists of cultural studies. The empirical corpus selected for analysis focuses on four films: The Famous and the Dead, Before the world ends, The best things in the world and Desenrola. Further information about these films circulating in cyberspace, in interactive processes that involve viewers in forms of subjection are considered for analysis. Its conclusion points with respect to the emphasis given to the teenager as also subject of privileged position in the age of the information.
