The Oceania Documentary Film Festival has been held annually in Tahiti since 2004. Known as FIFO, it celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2023 and now has an established reputation. The festival’s ...success is based on the development of Oceania documentary filmmaking, which has enabled filmmakers from Pacific communities to be proactive in building a shared identity. Environmental issues, the struggle for language preservation and gender issues are among the topics covered since the festival’s inception. In two decades of evolution, these identity-related productions have become militant, using the globalisation of images to bring the voices of Pacific peoples.
About My Blood: An Essay on Menopause—a link to the film is available at the bottom of the article— explores the silence and the shame that surrounds the biological and culturally loaded stages of ...perimenopause and menopause.
ABSTRACT 1In 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.
RESUMO Neste ensaio, busquei explorar pontos de contato entre o documentário Jogo de Cena, de Eduardo Coutinho, e um tipo de pesquisa acadêmico-científica feita no campo educacional brasileiro. Mediante o jogo paradoxal de que, para ver, é preciso escutar e, para escutar, é preciso ver, delineei o seguinte argumento de trabalho: ao oscilar entre a memória e os documentos, o gesto procedimental do documentarista comporta arquivos e fricciona o modo de fazer de um tipo de pesquisa em educação, sobretudo aquele alicerçado em materiais de arquivo, apresentando possíveis montagens dos perímetros enunciativos da pesquisa educacional contemporânea.
RÉSUMÉ Dans cet essai, j’ai cherché à explorer les points de contact parmi le film documentaire ‘Jogo de Cena’ d’Eduardo Coutinho et un type de recherche académique-scientifique menée dans le domaine de l’éducation au Brésil. À travers le jeu paradoxal selon lequel pour voir, il faut écouter, et pour écouter, il faut voir, j’ai exposé l’argument de travail suivant : en oscillant entre la mémoire et les documents, le geste procédural du documentariste englobe des archives et se frotte à un type de recherche en éducation, en particulier celles ancrées dans des matériaux d’archives, présentant des montages possibles des périmètres énonciatifs de la recherche éducative contemporaine.
In today's world, where clinical options are ever increasing and patients' needs are more diverse, it is not possible to conclude that simply practicing medical care based on pathophysiological data ...and medical evidence is sufficient for patients, particularly in terms of seeing each patient as an individual. Medical professionals must maintain a close relationship with their patients and seek treatment and care methods that reflect the patient’s values and views on life and death, based on their own ethics in medical care. Ethics education should be provided on a continuing basis from the beginning of medical/pharmacy school. However, ethics education in pharmacy departments is often delivered in a lecture format attended by many students and/or as group training using case studies and hypothetical situations, i.e., “paper” patients. With these teaching methods, there are limited opportunities for the students to foster a sense of ethics or to think deeply about their values and views on life and death with respect to the patients they care for. Therefore, in this study, we conducted ethics exercises for pharmacy students in a group study format using a documentary film of real patients who were facing death. By retrospectively analyzing the results of the questionnaires collected before and after the assignments and exercises, we verified the educational effects and changes in the students’ sense of ethics from participating in the group learning exercise; moreover, our results revealed the insight gained by the students in examining the experiences and challenges faced by terminally ill patients.
