Olhares artísticos e pedagógicos sobre a indumentária de Carmen Miranda na educação básica pública do município de Seropédica entre 2020 e 2024

Abstract

This thesis focuses on working with the image of Carmen Miranda in the basic education classroom, through a dynamic and meaningful pedagogical project for student learning. We reflect on the artistic-cultural context in which the artist was inserted and analyze the different elements that make up her Bahian attire. We then delve deeper into our research on her turbans, proposing theoretical studies and artistic experiments to the students. When creating their Bahian outfits, with the main emphasis on the turbans, the students reflect on issues such as: identity and respect for differences; awareness of the biodiversity of Brazilian fauna and flora; the use of new technologies; virtual communication affecting the understanding of emotions; and the contemporary culture of consumerism. The thesis proposed here shares fundamental research: the possibility of transforming academic studies in the field of art and culture history into contemporary pedagogical projects that are meaningful for the school community in Rio de Janeiro
