The multifaceted phenomenon of animation Analysing the background and aims of different types of animations

Journal Title: Pedagogicka Orientace - Year 2011, Vol 21, Issue 3

Abstract

The word animation is used in different contexts (film, theatre, computers, culture). The object of this study is animation in the context of social pedagogy, social work and pastoral care. The importance of animation in education lies in nondirective educational influence, which is enabled by the use of the animation approach. The essence of animation is derived not only from the etymology of the word animation (imparting life), but also from its understanding in the particular historical development. The authors analysed in detail the development of animation in France and then in other countries (Italy, Germany, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Slovakia). They drew on foundational works of renowned authors in the field (Gillet, Opaschowski, Pollo) as well as on the comparison of the individual – often fragmented – bits of information that can be found on animation in educational literature. The result is an attempt to summarise common and different attributes of various types of animation in the social science fields in Europe. It seems that all current types of animation are created on foundations of at least two of the four social variables: the society – education – culture – art.
