Educação, corpo e sensibilidades: desvelando os sentidos do corpo nos espaços escolares

Abstract

The purpose, linked to the research line Theories of Education and Pedagogical Processes, of this research is to unfold the meaning of embodied learning and how its taught at school, by presenting Augusto Boal’s Theater of the Oppressed as an opportunity of embodied learning with suitable conditions to get different sensations. To consider the body as an instrument of research and investigation in different areas of knowledge, this study was based on ideas from five main authors, such as: Foucault (1987); Duarte Junior (2000); Boal (2009); Le Breton (2010); and Surdi (2018). By this reason, four procedures were used to set the analysis, such as: bibliographic research, ethnography; biography and observation. Consequently, this research was structured in four chapters. The first chapter sets a balance of scientific studies about the embodied learning on Programas de Pós- Graduação em Educação (Post- Graduation Course in Education). The second chapter delivers theoretical background on embodied learning at school, to discuss this theme and its sensations considering the school environment and the theory discussed by different authors from Education studies. The third chapter describes visual data and establishes an intersection with the main authors used as reference in this study. At the end, the last chapter discusses theater as an option of embodied learning at school, using the Theater of the Oppressed by Augusto Boal as start. The results demonstrated how schools develop few pedagogical activities. It is hardly considered the body as a producer of cultures, sensitivities, knowledge and doing
