La cámara oscura como estrategia pedagógica para dar luz a la construcción de escenarios de paz.

Abstract

The following research job was carried out in the modality of creation, direction or interpretation and was developed with the National Movement of Victims of State Crimes. We made an audiovisual production that resulted in the short film called "Memories of struggle, fights for memory" which served as a means to identify different types of state criminality, as well as claims, struggles and actions for the memory of the victims.

The research approach is based on the pedagogical practice and its ethnographic record in field diaries, which included the critique of the mass media images since they seek to make the struggles for collective memory invisible in contrast to the use and production of images by alternative expressions from the Mexican revolution, which we highlight.

To generate experiential approaches to photographic records, cinematographic technique and generate reflections and bridges in relation to the struggles for memory, we generated some workshops with camera obscura and sample viewings of documentary segments which was a basis for producing the construction, the joint design of the documentary with a view to socializing it as a critical alternative in educational settings.

In addition to criticizing the production of images in contemporary times, the investigative work proposes to make a critique of the affective regime underlying the cultural industry that affects daily life and educational settings, specifically, images that refer to recent history and how the expressions of social mobilization and struggles of the victims of state violence in Colombia are shown.

In this way, we seek to highlight the possibility of more than being spectators, being able to be producers of them from a critical look at audiovisual discourses, their structure, and the possibility of learning social science knowledge from manifesting one's own images. and generate them collectively.
