Corpo território, território corpo

saberes e práticas em devir na educação geográfica

Abstract

This article arises from a research project that has sought to connect and explore knowledge that articulates the body and territory in geographic education. The research context involves the training of geography and physical education teachers through an interdisciplinary project linked to the CAPES Pedagogical Residency Program. The research method is based on the perspective that this knowledge is not ready and the connections between them are not given in advance and, therefore, it is necessary to create devices capable of activating, moving, breaking through thought and the body to produce them. It is true that school and university curricula, as well as scientific and pedagogical texts on geography and physical education, address and establish relationships between the body and the territory in the educational sphere and beyond. However, there still seems to be a broad field of experiences and knowledge to be mobilized in geographic education based on the understanding of the body as a territory and the territory as a body. Therefore, the article in question aims to deepen the thinking about these relationships and possible encounters, using as a device some mappings created by the undergraduate students who participate in the project.
