THE MEANINGS OF BODILY CULTURE ACTIVITIES AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION’S TEACHING OBJECTS

Abstract

This essay discusses a concept about Physical Education’s teaching objects based on the systematization of the meanings of bodily culture activities. Taking “dance” as an example for analysis, I present some theoretical and methodological criteria for meanings of bodily culture from a Cultural-Historical perspective. Considering that these activities have an autonomous dimension - which does not mean they are independent - regarding social relations of gender, class, ethnicity etc., as the center of this systematization, I point out those features related to formative singularities, or “creative making”, which “dance”, “play”, “fight” and “gymnastics” have or may have regarding the subjects who teach and learn them at school.
