Possibilidades multidisciplinares: tornando possível a aproximação entre Educação Física e a Sociologia

Abstract

In this theoretical essay, we present some thoughts and possibilities of joing, in the education perspective of Physical Education (PE) and Sociology – in a multidisciplinary approach – with the intent of analyzing several materials published in some media outlets like newspapers, print magazines and internet. We used the perspective of media education (ME). With some examples about sport, health, body and aesthetics, the materials presented and the discussions established here are guided by the sociological perspective (functionalization, socialization, ideological, commodification and spectacle), with the goal of examining some issues that initially seem to pose as something exclusively by the PE, but that can be combined with the knowledge of sociology. We try to show that, with the methodological approach, proposed by the productive and investigative field of ME, it is indeed possible to lead with a multidisciplinary approach. In addition, the pedagogical interventions can be better contextualized and expanded in order to contribute positively and critically to the formation of subjectivities of children and young people, and making them to understand and be informed about trivial facts that are not always treated by the media as it should be, and also, in this case, rescuing the social function of the school and its curriculum components, peculiarly, PE and Sociology.
