Creative experiences with the audiovisual and the trajectories of the subject

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze how a methodology of aesthetic self-expression with audiovisual resources developed in specific workshops has allowed the emergence of fluid subjectivities within contexts where subjects are excluded by stereotypical discourses regarding disability, immigration, and vulnerability. First, a theoretical frame related to difference and audiovisual concepts is proposed; then, the article describes the context where audiovisual culture and production workshops are implemented. After that, both the workshops' methodological approach and a specific case of study are developed. Finally, the effects of this methodological approach in subjects' experiences are analyzed by revealing creative processes of subjectivities' construction and also, some elements for discussion are proposed.
