Corpo e aprendizagem: os entraves da indisciplina escolar

Abstract

This work intends to problematize the relationship between body and learning, considering school indiscipline as one of the great challenges of the teaching-learning process, we will investigate if there is a relation of denial of the body as a place of learning to the detriment of the creation of a disciplinary, restraining and limiting knowledge of educational processes through bodily expressions. Thus, the main objective of this work will be to analyze the body and its relationship with the school space. That is, understanding discipline as a mechanism of domination, coercion and control over the body, and indiscipline as a transgression of order and power regulations. As well as, the school space as a regulator of the subject-body, place of the cultural arbitrary that shapes the bodies of individuals. We will base our research on the classic work of Michel Foucault, Discipline and Punish (1987), seeking to understand in this work the originality of the debate about the relationship between body and discipline. Methodologically, we will approach our research object from a bibliographic analysis of the aforementioned contents, through a textual review. This article aims to point out that the school as a regulatory framework creates in the bodies of individuals a useful docility whose ultimate purpose is to make subjects disciplined and fit for social regulation, considering everything that is bodily expression transgression and preventing the body from being understood as a place of learning.
