Abstract:
Our paper proposes a theoretical exploration of the ethical and historiographical problems involved in the introduction of holocaustic audiovisual texts in the classroom. To do this, we will start a threefold division of the nature of every audiovisual text as an historical document who trigger emotional elements and, finally, an aesthetic concatenation of elements who produce different meanings. In the field of education we will face four specific problems: manipulation, ineffability, fascination and the risks behind a possible denialist reading. Its main novelty is the inclusive relationship of these four issues around educational experiences in different disciplines.
