Wanna see How to Stage a Scene in Educational Research? Listen Up!

Abstract

In this essay, I explored connections between Eduardo Coutinho’s documentary feature film ‘Playing’ (Jogo de Cena) and a type of academic-scientific research carried out in the Brazilian educational field. Faced with the paradoxical game where in order to see one needs to listen and in order to listen one needs to see, I outlined the following working argument: by oscillating between memory and documents, the documentarist’s procedural gesture includes archives and frictionizes the ways of carrying out a type of research in education, especially the research based on archival material, presenting possible assemblies of the enunciative perimeters of contemporary educational research.
