Mídia-Educação Física: Outros Olhares sobre a Cultura Corporal


Book Description

O livro Mídia-Educação Física: outros olhares sobre a cultura corporal é um convite e um desafio ao enfrentamento de uma das maiores problemáticas da Educação Física escolar em tempos digitais: como as mídias podem influenciar a compreensão de estudantes da educação básica sobre os elementos da cultura corporal? A partir da tela de um smartphone, a juventude é apresentada aos esportes, jogos, lutas, danças e ginásticas, permeados por ideologias, valores e manipulações que distorcem ou empobrecem as representações desses estudantes sobre esse campo. O autor recusa a simples aceitação das tecnologias digitais por suas características, propondo elaborada discussão sobre os princípios que devem nortear a adesão às Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDICs) na Educação Física escolar. A obra perpassa questões relevantes como a necessária formação docente para o trato com as tecnologias, a didática na era digital e a infraestrutura que viabiliza propostas de ensino com suporte midiático. Utilizando linguagem clara, o escritor desenvolve, com habilidade, formas de tratar pedagogicamente os elementos da Educação Física na escola, identificando as possíveis representações edificadas a partir dos conteúdos midiáticos. A partir da constatação do smartphone como principal dispositivo de acesso aos conteúdos midiáticos, o livro aborda suas possibilidades e limitações, discutindo recursos como redes sociais virtuais e jogos eletrônicos, realidades ainda não adequadamente problematizadas pela Educação Física escolar. Finalmente, esta obra apresenta reflexões e estratégias para o ensino da Educação Física escolar com as tecnologias digitais, compreendendo a Mídia-Educação como olhar privilegiado que ultrapasse as fronteiras do uso instrumental das TDICs. Desenvolve formas de produzir conhecimentos em Educação Física com as tecnologias e mantém no horizonte a reflexão sobre os conteúdos midiáticos, desvelando possíveis interesses próprios da indústria cultural como pilar para a formação emancipatória.

Violence and Desire in Brazilian Lesbian Relationships


Book Description

In Violence and Desire in Brazilian Lesbian Relationships, Allen examines the lives of Brazilian women in same-sex relationships. This examination contributes to interdisciplinary discussions of female same-sex sexuality, violence, race, and citizenship. Using fifteen months of ethnographic fieldwork, primarily with Afro-Brazilian women in the city of Salvador da Bahia, Allen argues that Brazilian lesbian women reject Brazilian cultural norms that encourage male domination and female submission through their engagement in romantic relationships with each other. At the same time Allen claims lesbian women also reproduce Brazilian cultural ideals that associate passion, intensity, and power with physical dominance through their engagement in infidelity and intimate partner violence. The book demonstrates that lesbian women are nonetheless marginalized as Brazilian citizens through widespread social and political invisibility despite these apparent displays of masculinized power.
