Corpo máquina ou corpos vivos? O corpo que a escola afirma por meio dos livros didáticos

Abstract

The body found in the school in general, whether in textbooks, whether in the pedagogical models, it is under a mechanistic approach, underpinned by biomedical knowledge, which has established itself from the modern society as a result of rationalism, individualism and anatomical dissections. This is the body that, hegemonically, is placed in society. The study of biology textbooks, which officially tell us what the body is, confirms this aspect. However, we realize the confrontation between approaches based on the humanities in order to break with this view by presenting a symbolic conception, which proclaims that the body is given as cultural data. We understand that both approaches are characterized as limited as they are disciplinary and reinforces old dualisms. Thus, the work saw the importance of establishing a dialogue between the different knowledge and approaches to the body in search of a Oneness view, a living body. The possible paths that we glimpsed are based on the theory of autopoiesis and pedagogy of complexity. As a product, we present a booklet that sought to establish this dialogue, having as theme the movement.
