Transforming the Gaze and Sharing of Senses in Cinema and Education

Abstract

This article analyzes Immanuel Kant´s understanding of the concepts of taste, beauty, and aesthetic experience in order to determine the critical, reflexive, and pedagogical potential of sensibility. This association intends to validate the proposal of an education geared to the aesthetic, to sensibility. Thus, the sensible can educate and, in this process, can be educated. As part of the effort of working with these concepts, I analyze the movie The Taste of Others, directed by Agnès Jaoui, which plot seems to synthesize the senses of sensibility and education with which I work in the article.
