The audiovisual narrative as a tool for philosophical reflection in the classroom

Abstract

The present paper presents a specific educational experience in the teaching of modern and contemporary philosophy to students of third year of the degrees in Humanidades: Estudios Interculturales, and Historia and Patrimonio of the Universitat Jaume I (Castelló de la Plana, Spain). The main objective is to show how the generic and specific competences of this subject can be exercised through cinematographic and audiovisual resources. It is argued that TV series and cinema are a useful tool to generate reflection spaces in the classroom, places from which students can keep philosophical dialogue and connect the different philosophical proposals with visual references that are familiar for them.
