LIVED EXPERIENCE, LANGUAGE AND THE TEACHING OF BODILY PRACTICES IN SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION: A READING WITH NIETZSCHE

Abstract

This paper offers an account of Nietzsche’s concept of lived experience. It also draws implications from this analysis for the teaching of bodily movement practices in school Physical Education classes. By problematizing the limits of conceptual language in expressing what the body can do, it proposes a ‘perspectivist’ teaching-learning, which is based around the subjectivity of those who move.
