Cinema enters the law classrooms: The emancipation of Tony Manero (2008)

This work aims to base the didactics and aesthetics of the inclusion of film viewing in law classrooms. Through the analysis of the film Tony Manero (2008) by director Pablo Larrain, the characteristics of the transcendent master class as an open space for different participants, media and knowledge (in contrast to the master class merely expository) will be addressed, and then present Jacques Ranciere's theory of the aesthetic regime of art, which, in its application to cinema, is based on what he calls the "suspense tragedy". This interdisciplinary conjunction will give us the guideline to re-understand phenomena belonging with Law (violence in this case) in its full complexity, thus allowing the intellectual emancipation of the student and the teaching-learning space.
