A “energia social” do esporte – aproximações e experimentações possíveis a partir de um conceito

Abstract

This essay seeks to experiment on the concept of social power (Greenblatt, 1988) having sports and their manifestations in contemporary times as its object. It is assumed that there is something in sports, whether as a practice or as a mediatized assistance, which enables the circulation of aesthetic and cultural elements which are part of characterizations of a way of being in the present time. With no conclusive goals, this essay seeks to list an overview of issues that emphasize possibilities of extracting from sports something regarding knowledge, configuring it as a challenge to the educational field and the humanities.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

En este ensayo se pretende experimentar el concepto de energía social (Greenblatt, 1988) que tiene como objeto el deporte y sus manifestaciones en la contemporaneidad. Se supone que hay algo en el deporte, ya sea como una práctica o como assistencia mediatizada, que hace circular elementos estéticos y culturales propios de caracterizaciones de una manera de ser en la actualidad. Sin pretenciones conclusivas, se busca lanzar una vision general de cuestiones que tensionan posibilidades de extracción del deporte algo en torno al conocimiento, configurándose como un desafío para el campo de la educación y de las humanidades.
