A CONTRAST-IMAGE: THE IRONY BETWEEN SOUND AND VISUAL DISJUNCTIONS

Abstract

The relationships between images and (re)cognition are highlighted in the criticisms about the primacy of representation, one of the pillars of the contributions of Gilles Deleuze's philosophy to the studies in the field of education. Based on the proposition of the contrast-image concept, which articulates the visual and the sound aspects in the presentation of the cinematographic image, this article presents contributions to shift the most usual senses of perception of the world and of the learning derived from the subjects' relationship about what is real, especially considering the analysis of one film by Stanley Kubrick. We have pointed out constituting characteristics in the contrast-image that question a privileged human nature when subjects of education are named. The use of irony in its connection with humor is also highlighted, intensifying this contrast-image.
