Teaching and learning resistance from the film "the year my parents went on vacation"

Abstract

The aim of this research is to describe comprehensively the ways of being resistant of the young Mauro who is the protagonist of the film “The year my parents went on vacation” and deals with the period in which Brazil lived the military dictatorship (1964-1985), focusing in the year 1970. Phenomenology was adopted as a methodological perspective, with reference to the existential involvement and reflective distance (FORGHIERI, 2012) with the film, transcription of the speeches and description of our understandings. Mauro, in front of others, as a being-in-the-world, ends up acting, in his childhood, against the established, producing a mode of resistance in the face of a state that controls and limits individual liberties, in addition to living with the distance of his father and of the mother and also with the death of his grandfather.
