Educational television in the era Macri – LaCapital.com.ar

Cold noon Amucha the kids and girls in the inner courtyard garden. Jackets, caps and gloves transform their bodies into small balls minimum wool. Walls lifesize figures with yellow, blue and green faces are released. Have the style of Milo Lockett but the stroke of children’s hands

There comes round with teachers and before entering the hall announce them today will be a surprise.’re Going to see a video . In the building one twinned with art though not without setbacks school work is perceived: a while before the director Silvia Korea had to borrow the projector to a neighboring school gun because otherwise the kids would not have how to view the images. Improvising a white canvas on a red curtain and the lights go out.

The little garden is located in a Fonavi West Rosario, a popular neighborhood where every so often the police reports reflect how force bullets off young lives with the brevity of a click.

it’s Tuesday and students the afternoon shift Garden 334 Fisherton are prepared to start the evening in a special way. Everything is expectation. Until a few seconds Zamba appears on screen, the channel formoseño child baby boys Pakapaka and explode. They recognize with joy. Celebrate it, they laugh with their curious excursions. And to play with their characters. San Martin, Bolivar, Juana Azurduy and Belgrano are present in the struggles between patriots and royalists, where the garden courtyard or the living room of the house is the battlefield. “The impressive thing about Pakapaka and Encounter was in addition to the content, how they managed to change the subjectivity of children’s games,” muses Silvia Korea, director garden Fisherton neighborhood.

The game everyday is where the character of Zamba also left their mark. He explains Silvia Korea, “another way to play among kids was instituted in the workshop dramatizations played the royalists and heroes as San Martin and Juana Azurduy That contributed to the production of other subjectivities designed for children not as consumers.. . This was contagious. there were teachers who had another vision. But then people will realize how easy it can be to arrive at certain content through that material Zamba. And besides that content also leads us to make a critical review practices and models of teaching. “

Pakapaka and meeting emerged a few years ago in Argentina television and able to show that with good yields and content can make a quality educational programming and the entertaining time, harvesting from Martin Fierro awards to international distinctions, to the point that several of his programs were nominated for an Emmy. Pakapaka aired in September 2010 and meeting in March 2007, but two years ago began to take shape its structure.

But in them the debate about the changes he wants snuck macrista give the new administration to management. Already it took shape with the displacement of authorities and explicit look on new approaches to programming. In both channels today what you see on screen is no different from what had been showing, since they are either reruns or new content but were planned since last year. The new schedule will start to see only at the end of this year or early next.

The Capital tried to take the word of those who today manage these signals, but the answer was that at the moment are not giving interviews. However, national government officials gave notes and some of them also tracks the label that seeks to impart to this new stage.

It had been a few days since the triumph of Mauricio Macri in the runoff when Hernán Lombardi, designated head of Public Media, in an interview TN Pakapaka slid his expectations and meeting. “It seems to me to have a scheme of public television dedicated to children and education is fantastic, very well, (but) when you look at how it has ideologized and sees the discourse of what happens there, I invite those who did not see who see “. His idea, he explained, is “to continue with educational channel dedicated to children but not train with one vision.” For which he proposed to “disarm” certain things that have been done because “unfortunately in this militant propaganda came to the kids.” Your opinion about Canal Encuentro was not an orphan reviews: “It’s a great channel, I am a fan of documentaries also have to say that in the last year nothing escaped the propagandistic bulimia.”

Zamba in the classroom

Silvia Korea was as a teacher until mid-2015 in the Garden Antonio Berni, Funes. There he began to incorporate the contents of Zamba, the character Pakapaka star, as a trigger to give classes, thanks to the materials distributed by the Ministry of Education. “To me that meant a paradigm shift and a commitment to equal access of cultural capital. It also contributed to the fairer distribution of symbolic goods because, pedagogically speaking, the material was intended for our level, from small children to the most large, “says the teacher.

These audiovisual tools took them to the classroom to work with kids and girls complex issues such as equality or discrimination. “Until gender issues can be addressed with these contents” highlights. Remember that visit Zamba by issues such as Malvinas or Memorial Day managed to be treated with the boys without problems. “I am convinced he adds that the teaching of history through these resources is essential to build the sense of homeland in boys. And more today in a culture of the image, with a world completely crossed by the digital, these technologies can contribute much access to education and equality in education “.

Meeting and Pakapaka, like DxTV belong to the society of the State Educ.ar, created during the government of the Alliance thanks to the patronage of Martin Varsavsky, which donated 11 million, one for each student but with Argentine crisis of 2001/2002 many of those funds evaporated as they were in bonds placed by then Economy Minister Domingo Cavallo. The company was recovered and relaunched during the administration of Néstor Kirchner.

Both channels are under the aegis of the Ministry of Education. However, in the first months of management’s change it transpired that there was a strong dispute over its management portfolio that coordinates between Esteban Bullrich and Public Media led Hernán Lombardi. Under that bid, and in line with the imprint of macrismo to incorporate exgerentes companies to public management, Guillermo Fretes-CEO of Despegar.com- was presented on Monday, January 4 by the Bullrich himself as the new head of Educ .jp.

When in early March the official news agency Telam announced the new authorities of Pakapaka and Lombardi meeting was the Minister in charge of giving the news confirming the displacement María Rosenfeldt who he was at meeting since its inception. His replacement was named Fernanda Rotondaro, documentary filmmaker and one of the people who was at the table girl making in the early stages in the educational channel until 2008. He was responsible for the creation of child strip meant germ Pakapaka , space that years later broke off and began operating as an independent channel. In Pakapaka took Karina Wroblewski, producer and curator of cultural spaces and documentary filmmaker. “The focus will be on working in construction and public media content with a glimpse of future for all Argentines,” Lombardi said in designating Rotondaro and Wroblewski. Also that day Francisco Irarrázaval, exrugbier Club Newman, was in charge of the sports channel DxTV.

Rotondaro was one of the managers meeting and during those early years worked closely with Tristan Bauer, then director of the signal. So says journalist Tamara Smerling in the book The other screen: education, culture and television , essential to understand text about the process of creating these channels, since Nestor Kirchner saying “metele forward Daniel “Filmus when he took the proposal of an educational channel, through those early days of a handful of restless minds craneando ideas and seeking to build an aesthetic and own content, to achieve public recognition.

start

“She (by Rotondaro) was in the origins of Meeting and was a key driver. it was convened by Daniel Filmus by his work for ten years in Channel a, who had made an impressive and highly valued work, “says Smerling, who highlights the new director for its solvency. “There was much fear that liquefy a little everything was done. So I think good your presence. I do not think Canal Encuentro disappear because they will not allow something like that.” Smerling values ​​also how, thanks to this work that matured over a decade, meeting managed to raise the bar of what is meant by cultural and educational television. “What many producers concern is raising the rod production air channels had to be reformed content from the aesthetics of Meeting. There are producers who was relieving and which in the jargon of daily work say “Do you want as Encounter? ‘. and that speaks well of a channel and how installed aesthetics, content and formats in a very short time. “

None of the educational channels have advertising guidelines. A decision that is healthy for Smerling, especially “for those who are parents of young children nenes, because even though we live in this society, the truth that paves much work you do at home or at school for consumption either measured any case. ” One thing that does not go unnoticed especially if one takes into account the bombardment of advertisements that are in other children’s cable signals created by tanks like Disney or Cartoon Network.

The author of “the other screen” regrets the questions that have recently received educational channels. “They have been questioned as to its emphasis on human rights and Pakapaka has fallen into the flipped a character like Zamba, which refers to the story. In my position what makes Zamba is an amazing trigger for the kids to think these issues, but it does not have to be there, is not a closed content, each school and family provide their own thing “.
