‘Film’s Lessons in Vision’
In this paper, I explore the poetic virtue of filmmaking. In the first part, I look at the virtue of art more generally, drawing on Catholic philosopher Jacques Maritain’s Aquinas-inspired conception of poetic virtue. In the rest of the paper, I then map Maritain’s poetic virtue onto the artform of the moving image, its processes of production and reception. Here, I show how poetic intuition is conceived by filmmakers such as David Lynch and tran…
Don’t educate me—move me!’ Why we need art and artists (especially films and filmmakers) to love education into existence
This paper explores the anthropological and ontological conditions of our ‘educational movement’ in aesthetic experience and illustrates these through a range of examples from popular cinema/film (the Empire Strikes Back; Memento; David Lynch’s musings). For the anthropological framing of education, I enlist the help of German philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer and his notion of ‘formation’ as it unfolds in the aesthetic appearance of the cultural wo…
Education as the Art of Making Oneself at Home in the World with and Through Others”
This paper explores the mystical structure of education as Bildung in medieval theologian and Dominican friar Meister Eckhart’s work and the 2010 French film Of Gods and Men (Des Hommes et Des Dieux) . I start this paper with a short introductory sketch of the Bildung tradition, in order to situate my discussion of Eckhart within the more well-known humanist tradition. Here, I claim that Bildung (as we understand it today through the classic Bild…
The craft of acting as a pedagogical model for living a flourishing life in a world of tensions and contradictions
In this paper, I explore German playwright Bertolt Brecht’s conception of the art of acting, and his views on the new actor’s conduct towards their craft, as a pedagogical model for Brechts’ broader view on how we should live our lives. Drawing on his key writings – most importantly, his famous street scene essay – I will show that Brecht’s conception of the theory-practice connection in his approach to actor training/acting bears some deeper ins…
Theatre, Revolution and Love’
This article explores the educational philosophy of Asja Lācis' proletarian children's theatre. Taking her post–First World War encounter with Russian street children as a starting point for my inquiry, I argue that Lācis regards the theatre as a rehearsal space for life. Here, children are to be absorbed into the craft of theatre, with the aim of honing their moral and aesthetic sense as a (self-guided) reorientation of their attention and desir…
Cultivating the Art of Living”
In this article, I explore Bertolt Brecht's philosophy of education with particular reference to his notion of the Verfremdungseffekt (estrangement effect) as brought to life in the art of gestic acting (Gestus). Giving examples from the 1960 Mother Courage DEFA film version of the play, I demonstrate how Brecht's philosophising theatre is brought forth in Helene Weigel’s gestic acting when portraying the play’s controversial protagonist. The act…
‘If I didn’t know you what would you want me to see?’
The following article puts to work an affirmative approach to critical theory through poetic mappings of the process of crafting identity boxes with ESOL students from refugee and asylum backgrounds in a Glasgow-based college in Scotland (UK). The article takes as its starting point the work of feminist and neo-materialist thinkers who argue for an ontological re-orientation of our practices of inquiry. This involves the questioning of positivist…
Online Teacher Training in a Context of Forced Immobility
This article discusses an action research study that involved the design and delivery of an online training course for teachers of Arabic to speakers of other languages in the Gaza Strip (Palestine). Grounded in Freirean pedagogy, the course aimed to respond to the employment needs of university graduates by creating opportunities for online language teaching. The action research study explored the dynamics at play within the online educational e…
Some People Are Born Strange
The article explores the role of a Brechtian theater pedagogy as "philosophical ethnography" in four investigative drama-based workshops, which took international students' intercultural "strangeness" experiences as the starting point for aesthetic experimentation. It is argued that a Brechtian theater pedagogy allows for a productive rather than representational orientation in research, which is underpinned by a love for the aesthetic "re-entang…
Hearing as Touch in a Multilingual Film Interview
This article explores the author’s embodied experience of linguistic incompetence in the context of an interview-based, short, promotional film production about people’s personal connections to their spoken languages in Glasgow, Scotland/UK. The article highlights that people’s right to their spoken languages during film interviews and the embodied, translingual dimensions manifested through their languages pose important methodological questions…
A Brechtian theatre pedagogy for intercultural education research
The following article explores the potential of Bertolt Brecht's theatre pedagogy for intercultural education research. It is argued that Brecht's pedagogical views on theatre connect to those interculturalists who prioritise the embodied dimensions of intercultural encounters over a competence-driven orientation. Both share a love for aesthetic experimentation as the basis for learning and critical engagement with a complex world. The article ou…
