Decision-making is a key dimension in the training of health professionals, as mentioned in the current National Curriculum Guidelines for Medicine Undergraduate Course. Decision-making in the health context involves various aspects, including (bio)ethical elements. Hence, researches to investigate decision-making in (bio)ethics may elucidate steps not completely clarified yet, allowing a more effective building of skills in (bio)ethics, both in undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to explore the possibilities of using mobile eye tracking while watching feature films, to investigate the role of visual attention in (bio)ethical decision-making.

O presente artigo tem por escopo relatar a experiência da Mostra de Cinema Charles Chaplin: Imagens da Sociedade Contemporânea, realizada em Viçosa, MG, parte do projeto de extensão Cinema, Saúde e Cidadania: Composições entre Bioética, Estética e Política. Foram exibidas as películas Tempos modernos e O grande ditador, a partir das quais foi tematizado, respectivamente, (1) o trabalho, empregando-se os referenciais teóricos de Marx e (2) as relações de poder na perspectiva de Foucault e Agamben. Ao final, pondera-se sobre a potencialidade de atividades dessa natureza permitirem a criação de espaços para a discussão sobre ética, cidadania e política, expondo aspectos da realidade que podem se constituir em sutis—e poderosos — mecanismos de captura do homem / da mulher na contemporaneidade.
