A EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA PARA ALÉM DO CAPITAL

Abstract

This thesis investigates body movement as work in general. It starts from the assumption that bodily movement, through corporality, constituted the human essence and, under the capitalist mode of production, is alienated, distancing human beings from what brings them closer to their totality. Therefore, the body is understood as part of this totality without the fragmentation of body and mind. To support these considerations, we resorted to the theme of work, considering it as an onto logical condition, just as human body movement is. The concept developed around corporality is understood as the manifestation and expression that is proper to the body in its expression of life. The theoretical perspectives investigated were, in particular, the implications of alienated body movement in the formation of men and women and the perspectives present in Physical Education of acting in a counter-hegemonic way in the spaces where it manifests itself, through qualitatively different pedagogical practices. In this sense, there is a centrality on Physical Education as an area of knowledge. Finally, the debate revolved around the possibilities of transforming the alienated bodily practices present in the educational proposals of the Landless Workers Movement (MST). The propositions present in this text were supported by authors such as Marx, Lukács, Adorno, Mészáros, among other
