MAPPING AFFECTIONS AND MOVEMENTS IN TEACHERS’ EMBODIED LEARNING

Abstract:

The body is the central construct in the field of Physical Education, but in the last few years, it has come under growing scrutiny, especially from the New Materialisms that have questioned and displaced the meaning of the body as a physical and cultural reality towards the notion of corporeality. This concept linking the body to the relational goes beyond the human and expands the areas of proximity between body and world. The perspective that dilutes the idea of the body as an entity that closes in on itself, along with the influence of the Theory of Affects, has led to challenging the notion of an inert body that passively waits for the imposition of a meaning socially and culturally constructed by the subject. Based on this approach, we have researched how a group of secondary school teachers situates corporeality in their learning paths.
