A critical analysis of the film Remember the Titans, released in 2000, shows a preoccupation with nation and national identity through race and football. Set in 1971, it follows the desegregation and integration of a high school football team in Virginia. The film articulates a revisionist racial reconciliation reading of the Civil War based on white suffering and subsequent redemption. At its core it is a story about the progress of race relations and racism, framed as interpersonal relationships and segregation, in the United States.

This essay is based on a previous study we conducted during our last internship in the teacher trainee program. We have conducted a a literature study on alternative and possible usage of movies in classroom environments in upper secondary school. The goal has been to investigate how you can use film to acquire English as a second language, in Grade seven at a school located in the southern part of Sweden. Focus has been on improving students' oral skills, and working with ethical questions, which can be promoted by watching films in school. To do this we have chosen to include drama and role-playing as a part of processing the movies. The films this essay focuses on are Zootopia (2016) and Remember the Titans (2000). In our result and conclusion, we state that including drama together with films in the classroom is a motivating factor for the students and an excellent way to make all the students talk and practice their English oral skills. With the selected themes, racism and xenophobia which are treated in both movies, students are given the chance to discuss and reflect about equality and human rights.

O rock nacional da década supracitada apresenta como característica peculiar o público jovem, já que as bandas musicais que surgem nesta época têm como seus integrantes pessoas jovens. Nesse período, acontece uma liberdade de expressão artística e, consequentemente, uma expansão da indústria fonográfica. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a construção da identidade jovem no discurso das letras de músicas do rock brasileiro dos anos 1980. Assim, foi possível refletir sobre a relação entre identidade cultural e linguagem a partir de algumas músicas do rock, na época dada, e, assim, abrir uma perspectiva para articular o conceito de identidade e sujeito discursivo a partir das letras das músicas estudadas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, de caráter qualitativo, com orientação analítico-descritiva. Como suporte teórico-metodológico adotado para esta pesquisa, foram acionados conceitos da análise do discurso de linha francesa, com ênfase nos postulados de Michel Foucault e Michel Pêcheux. O corpus da pesquisa é composto por nove letras de músicas do rock da década em questão, sendo três de cada banda/cantor: Cazuza: Ideologia, Burguesia e Garota de Bauru; Legião Urbana: Química, Eduardo e Mônica e Geração Coca-Cola; Titãs: Comida, Diversão e Estado Violência. Assim, esta pesquisa foi dividida em quatro etapas: 1) breve histórico do rock nacional da década de 1980, destacando a cultura jovem brasileira com ênfase na produção musical; 2) elementos sobre a análise do discurso de linha francesa, destacando conceitos utilizados no transcorrer das análises das letras, bem como as condições de produção desse segmento musical no referido período; 3) destaque de conceitos relacionados à identidade, sobretudo no âmbito da diferença, bem como a relação entre identidade e discurso; 4) leitura das letras escolhidas, em que foram relacionados os conceitos teóricos da análise do discurso com os de identidade, possibilitando a concretização dos objetivos propostos. Nessas letras, verifica-se que determinadas posições de sujeito corroboram as subjetividades materializadas no discurso, apontam para construções identitárias no âmbito da diferença. Dessa forma, a pesquisa procurou analisar como as letras de rock dos anos 1980 “constroem” essa identidade do sujeito jovem.
