[Xmca-l] Re: Interpreting videos

[Andy Blunden <ablunden@mira.net>]

Well, my first reaction is what terrible damage this practice of 
ghettoising the population does. But then I see that the video is about 
1 of the 4 academies at the school, the "Center for Social Justice" I 
think it was. The 4mins of video lead me to suggest that the approach 
may be similar to that advocated by Anna Stetsenko and to some extent 
Helena Worthen and Morten Nissen (and indeed Paulo Friere is brought to 
mind). That is, the kids are invited to address their own social 
situation and grievances, and the staff support the kids is building a 
project, with others, to recrtify these grievances as social issues and 
not individual problems or defects. If this is the case, more power to 
their elbow.
