Pedagogia crítica da Educação Física: uma análise comparada entre o Brasil e a literatura anglófona

ABSTRACT

This paper offers a comparative analysis of the recent development of critical pedagogy in the Physical Education field. The article examines the trajectory between two cognitive landscapes. On one hand, the Brazilian reality and, on the other hand, that which is represented by Anglophone literature. In methodological terms, the study has been sourced by important books and journals published in the last three decades, in Brazil and in the anglophone world. The results highlight similarities but, also, differences in the trajectory of socially critical scholarship in both investigated environments.
