O CORPO SOB A PERSPECTIVA DE JOVENS SKATISTAS

Abstract

Schools hope that skateboarders follow the instituted rules. The skateboarders adopt a life style where the body is free to express/move under skating practice. Then comes this tense relationship between educational institutions and the young skateboarders. The educational rules may represent biopolitic estructures that act under the younger’s bodies. In this hard situation, we realise that schools and skateboarders influence each other dialectically. For the belief that schools need to rethink their pedagogical relationship about skateboarders, they went established as object of analysis. The adopted theme of this study – in the research area Education, Society and Culture, of the Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Program, in Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás – is: The skateboarders’s relationship with his bodies at school. As a guiding question, it pretends to answer the following problem: How do young skateboarders give meaning to his bodies’s apropiation at school? In general, it was reflected about how young skateboarders give meaning to his bodies’s apropriation at school. And especifically 1) it checks how the young skateboarders’s bodies has been discuted in the academic space; 2) it analyzes the young skateboarders’s bodies while social dimension that’s historical built in streets, skate lanes and schools; and 3) it’s under study how the young skateboarders realise his own bodies at school. The target public of this study are skateboarders from 15 to 29 years old, high-school students. It was needed to understand how much they knew about this theme and make all the bibliographical search. Field research was needed to discover the target public, who was 7 young guys, being 3 from female sex and 4 from male sex. All the information was colected throught mixed questionaires and half structured interview. The information were interpreted throught qualitative reference. Among used authors, it’s needed to mencionate Adorno and Horkheimer (1985); Bourdieu (1998); Foucault (2004); Marcuse (1981a); and Marx and Engels (2001). It’s beliavable that throught this study it can find many other views that contributes for the school to reflect about young skateboarders bodies’s education in front of emancipation.
