Resonances between sensibilization practices and selfelaboration in physical education training

Abstract

This article brings reflections about sensibilization practices in Physical Education training. It was intended to understand these practices as “self-training on self”. Field research (2013-2016) was carried out during the undergraduate course “Bodily Practices and Self-knowledge” – BPS/UNESP-RC. As for procedures, intervention-research was used to instigate a discussion strongly committed to the didactic experience. Students’ and the teacher’s diaries were used as research material, with students’ consent. The analyzes started by reflecting about bodily relations in Laban, focusing on linguistic resonances created by these practices in thinking exercises. It was observed that sensibilization is related to the most primordial technology, through which people use their bodies to elaborate their ways of being. An exercise training is created from this self-elaboration, pointing to the irreducibility of the body and relations in Physical Education.
