Abstract
This article presents an emergent stance in critical literature on visual culture education. A study focused on queer and feminist spectatorship, it considers intersections among critical pedagogy, art education, film, feminist studies, queer studies and transculturalism. Through the lenses of postcolonialism, feminism and queer theory, it pursues an understanding of how a shift from traditional models of spectatorship to feminist and queer spectatorship might affect teaching and learning in visual culture education. It constitutes a dialogue between two scholars concerned with spectatorship as a pedagogical device and includes a critical discussion of Pedro Almodúvar and Trinh T. Minh-ha's films because they expose the subject as a crucial element for understanding spectatorship and subjectivity in visual culture education.
