O corpo e as danças populares paraenses no espetáculo "Dançares Amazônicos", do Balé Folclórico da Amazônia: reflexões simbólicas e culturais para a Educação Física

Abstract

This work takes a look at the popular dances of Pará in order to reveal symbolic and cultural meanings and meanings for Physical Education, from the perspective of a sensitive body that produces reflections from gestures, languages and emotions, guiding the perception of my gaze and looking at the other as a subjective source of knowledge close to the reality experienced about these dances, seeking to expand the possibilities of cultural knowledge. The objective of this research was to present, contribute and expand the knowledge of reflections on the body in Physical Education and reflect on it in its cultural and symbolic aspects in the dance manifestations of Pará. The research originates from a concern for these artistic expressions that focus on a perception about bodies in the world and about the lived world, contributing to the search for other epistemological coordinates expanding on body and culture for Physical Education. Thus, for the development of the work, a qualitative study is based on a qualitative study based on the conceptions of the phenomenological method of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, as he understands that the philosopher is not limited to closed concepts, and, based on these reflections , build horizons, dialogues and discussions about the mediations between body, aesthetics and popular culture and how the dances addressed here are manifested, as a phenomenon incorporated in the paraense body from a show. In this study, we take as reference the presentation of the group Balé Folclórico da Amazônia, in the show Dançares Amazônico, proposing to expand the concepts from the analysis of the spectacle of some scenes, in addition to the various types of records, such as videos, lyrics, consuetude, photos, interviews, giving a dynamic that links the different symbols, helping us to reflect on the meaning of this body, culture and symbols for Physical Education. So, the final considerations are presented, understanding the contours of the body's action as culture and that demand a look at objects of investigation that contextualize them in their most varied dimensions, thus allowing to re-signify the analyzed dances, in what, at times , it can be contradictory when the whole determines and is determined by singular experiences, understanding the different cultural dances as an interdisciplinary and dynamic field of knowledge, becoming promising when promoting the development of symbologies explored in this study.
