DESCRIÇÃO ANALÍTICA DO DISCURSO DO CINEMA QUE EDUCA CRIANÇAS A PARTIR DO ENUNCIADO DA CENSURA CINEMATOGRÁFICA

Abstract

The article presents the results of a research that sought to investigate the statement of cinematographic censorship in the discourse of cinema that educates children. It considered the Archaeological Discourse Analysis, inspired by Foucault, as a theoretical-methodological approach (Foucault, 2012). The editions of the Cinearte magazine (1926-1942) and the Decrees no. 17,943-A (Brazil, 1927), no. 21,240 (Brazil, 1932), no. Brazil, 1934), were the objects of analysis for this research. Based on the documents analyzed, it was concluded that cinema, in the 1920s and 1930s, should be regulated as a way to protect children from any scenes inappropriate for their moral and civic development. Both the decrees and the Cinearte magazine were precursors in the process of disseminating and mobilizing such regulations in favor of educational and appropriate cinema for the country's children.
