Ożywiając zapomniane postacie humanistyki. Społeczny wymiar edukacji medialnej na przykładzie projektu „Jestem człowiekiem – mam prawo”
Bringing back the forgoten characters in the humanities. The social aspect of media education through the example of the project “I am a human being – I have the right to…”

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the project “I am a human being – I have the right to…” basing on the stop motion technique. The project took place in two high schools in Gdynia. The idea was to create the her stories of two women artists – Zofia Stryjeńska and Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska – both of whom were talented, though forgotten by Polish audience. The paper focuses on some important social issues, including human rights and equality of men and women. It concentrates on pedagogy of resistance developed by Henry Giroux. The article compares this approach to the main presumptions of my educational project. The most important point is the idea of self-awareness in relation with the social challenges of the postmodern reality. It is not only the first, but also the necessary condition of the intentional development of human self in the world of consumption and simple pleasures. The focus is on using the stop-motion technique of film-making as the most suitable means to present the world of the main characters. It enables to discover directly how the characters appear and it supports the process of identification with both women artists. It is possible to create the part of reality of their lives.
