O corpo e suas relações: concepções em educação profissional e tecnológica

Abstract

In this article, the authors propose three topics to analyze and reflect on how the body has been thought, seen and appropriated in today's society: body and work as essence of people; dualisms and dichotomies of the body, work and education; body conceptions in contemporary social relationships. The first one refers to the historical construction of the body, according to its relationship with work, the essence of people. The composition of the second one implies an analysis of some dualisms and dichotomies existing in the world of work and education, that reflect on a fragmented view of the physical / motor and psychological / cognitive body. Finally, the third one proposes general considerations about the body appropriation by the capitalist market, media and technology, and the perception that young people have about the body patterns that have been established by these sectors. At the end of the analysis, we describe some brief considerations and possibilities for the Professional and Technological Education (PTE) in this context. It’s relevant using the conceptual principles of the human being, society, culture, science, technology, work and education proposed by PTE's pedagogical political projects, in the sense of integral education. Because the body is the home of the processes where learning takes place, and it carries itself all the human experiences.
