PHOTO, MIND, BODY: THE USE OF IMAGES TO WORK WITH FAMILIES IN EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

Abstract

Today, more than in the past, it is necessary to rethink educational action in an active form. Photography, like many other artistic forms, allows you to get in touch with beauty. What happens is a sort of empathization with the artistic object that allows us to overcome logical thinking and rationality and generate emotional knowledge on a body level. We do not have a single interpretation through which to interpret the photographic message and it is precisely this multiplicity of points of view that makes the photographic tool particularly suitable for some pedagogical interventions. Starting from the theoretical model of psycho-body phototherapy, an application of the use of the method is proposed within educational contexts with the aim of generating empowerment and creating alliances between families and teachers.
