BODY PRACTICES IN THE AMAZON: CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CULTURAL CURRICULUM AT SCHOOL

Abstract

The Brazilian schooling process, based on the prism of modernity, has strengthened in everyday schools the predominance of homogeneous and monocultural pedagogical practices that do not dialogue with the cultural diversity present in schools. It is argued that this scenario has implications for the educational process and the formation of the subject, besides causing tensions or conformity in the face of (in)adequacy to the dominant culture. Therefore, this article analyzes the intersections between culture, school and body practices developed in the Amazon towards the valorization of subjects and the significance of the learning process in the light of critical interculturality and cultural physical education. The dialogue with the theoretical field opposes the current models of thinking and building education and tenses in favor of recognizing different knowledge, valuing and respecting the diversity of subjects and cultures for the construction of a more democratic, plural and human society.
