Cinema e comensalidade na escola: o diálogo ciência e a arte na criação de um website do campo da alimentação e nutrição

Abstract

This dissertation describes and reflects on the elaboration process of the website "Cinema and Commensality at School" - a project that is aimed at school teachers, with special attention to those inserted in elementary education - and developed within the Center for Cultural Studies and Nutrition (NECTAR) of the Institute of Nutrition of the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). This dissertation, along with the website, is part of a larger project entitled "Food consumption as a complex problem: conceptual reflections and proposition of food and nutritional education in schools from the cinema". In it we highlight the use of cinema in the classroom to think about the phenomenon of food, and that meets the yearning to understand the processes, interconnect knowledge and promote a method of teaching that is more pleasant and makes sense for students and teachers. The development of the study was composed of two aspects: (a) the development of a website as a channel for school teachers, with special attention to those enrolled in elementary and secondary education, and (b) the development of a study concerned with describe the construction of this website and present reflections on the process of its development, approach and dynamics based on the references of ArtCience. The development path followed a process of collective design / construction both in the overall structure and organization of the contents on the site and the design elements themselves - such as graphic shapes, colors, fonts, images, sounds - are continuously re-defined throughout the process, which was always linked to the very development of the larger project. In describing this process, we take as references the proposals within the framework of ArtCience, as proposed by Root-Bernstein (2011), the perspective of dialogues between different knowledges and disciplines of Morin (2005) and the articulations of the three fields of knowledge - the Science, Art and Philosophy - in Deleuze (1992). From the perspective of Morin (2005), the dissemination of discussions on the field of Food and Nutrition as a complex phenomenon demands presentation strategies that can guide the teaching-learning process in a playful way and broaden participants' horizons, enriching their training processes. Considering the relevance of images and the visual dimension in everyday life, we have in mind the broader context of visual culture that characterizes modern society from the twentieth century, according to Hernandez (2000), and the online digital environment with which we interact of the second half of the twentieth century. We also consider that in the everyday school life of the contemporary world teaching and learning processes increasingly incorporate the use of virtual technologies and information processes, and that the website in question proposes to elaborate the presentation of the discussions of the field of Food and Nutrition, dialoguing with the conditions of the modern online digital environment
