O corpo (in)visivel nos Parametros Curriculares Nacionais

Abstract

This thesis is the result of observations and questions about the way the body is perceived and represented in the National Curriculum Parameters -NCP -for the Fundamental Education in the light of Foucault's references, especially the concepts of body, power, knowledge, discipline and subject.As a professional in the areas of health and education, I sought to develop this study motivated by thoughts about how I think the concept of body and in what ways I would like to see it reframed in school.Through the evidence that the reading of the NCP provides, sought to make visible the invisible recommendations contained in the body.Analysis of NPC revealed significant differences between the guidelines about the body, in the studied fields.The truth about the body were built by a speech made at the confluence of several pedagogical purposes and exerts power and knowledge effects about each one of us: students, teachers, parents, families and professionals from different areas.Knowing more deeply the writings of Foucault on body, power, knowledge, discipline and subject, pointed me other possibilities of resistance, struggles, reflections, against what already exists.It enabled me to also consider other ways of thinking and make the education of the body and in the body.Taking into account the hybrid way of NPC, the body gets to be a matter of choice between the various scenarios presented to students and, in a lot of the contents, needs to be further debated and reconstructed, going far beyond the biological materiality, which prevails as base on the official document.
