Escola: quando o ensino da dança propõe reflexões acerca da violência simbólica

Abstract

This study presents questions about the teaching of dance at school with the purpose of reflecting on a social issue. The paper entitled "Escola: Quando o Ensino da Dança propõe reflexões acerca da Violência Simbólica" is the result of exploratory, qualitative field study research. The central objective of the work is to approach the relation "dance-education x symbolic violence" as a potentiality applied to elementary school II, dialoguing with content by Marcia Strazzacappa, Isabel Marques and Pierre Bourdieu. Those involved in the research were students of the 9th grade of Carvalho Leal State School, Manaus-AM, with ages between 14 and 15 years old. The instrument of data collection was weekly meetings with classes and informal interviews conducted with the class, the interpretation of the material was given by content analysis. The main results show us that the proposed theme is pertinent, and that in the future it may have a deeper understanding of the body that moves, observes, and experiments. The adolescent has the possibility to critically read society in a process of identification, through the language of dance, to deepen and potentiate reflections on complex issues.
