No caminho dos pés e das mãos: a experiência do corpo como fenômeno educativo no Taekwondo

Abstract

This thesis presents the experience of the body as an educational phenomenon in Taekwondo. This argument/hypothesis considers education as an integral part of the sensitive, privileging the relationship that occurs through intercorporeity and that reveals itself in the body itself, the body of the other and the world. The research aimed to understand how the experience of the body in Taekwondo occurs from the experience and technique of the body, as well as reveal how this experience of the body inaugurates the educational phenomenon, through the involvement that occurs in intercorporeity. The methodology is based on the phenomenological attitude of the french philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, through which we carry out dialogues and discussions in this universe of meanings that are expressed in the body. We have also brought with it an alliance with phenomenology, the truth-cinema described by Edgar Morin and Jean Rouch, in order to give the necessary treatment for the imagistic construction of our corpus of analysis, consisting of interviews, lectures and self-confrontations, from the capture and reading the records of Taekwondo Masters. Therefore, we offer a voice and a listener to the reports, thus revealing the event of the educational phenomenon within its practice. The interest here is to think about how these millennial, traditional teachings are pervaded over the years and how this takes place from the relationship between teacher and student, between Master and Disciple, from this sensitive education that involves the expression of the body, the intercorporeality, body techniques, and the unfolding of these reflections for education. In this process he educates himself and the other through technique, but also through the philosophy of life, examples, values, coming from experience and shared affections. It is a phenomenological education configured in the body of lived experience.
