The present article analyses the philosophical potential of a film for gender education. The researcher contemplates the outcomes of the course Feminist Approaches in Social and Political Theories taken by the 4-th year bachelor university students. As a final task the students submitted essays on the problems of feminist studies presented in five popular feature films with feminist agenda: Suffragette, The Iron Lady, Little Women, The Help, Colette. The found gender-related problems were to be discussed in the essay and grounded with the theoretical material of the course. It was also necessary to incorporate the terms of feminist studies covered in the course into the analysis of the essay. In this article, the author outlines the plots of the listed films with feminist agenda. Then the researcher points out feminist issues of the films as they were given in the students’ works. Fourteen gender-related problems are listed. Most often and less often discussed gender questions are systematized. The applied terms are summarized. The article provides personal students’ stances towards gender-related issues reflected in their analysis. The work highlights students’ perception of cinema use for educational purposes. In the end, the author recaps the educational experience of the students and their overall evaluation of the educational cinematic journey. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
