Guide Pratique D’Education Physique (Deuxieme Édition) - Georges Hérbert

Abstract

Documentary analysis of the Guide Pratique D’Education Physique (Deuxieme Édition) – Georges Hérbert, from 1916, belonging to the collection of the historical library of the Documentary Historical Archive of the “Carlos Gomes” State School, formerly the Escola Normal de Campinas, in the Physical Education section. It was selected by undergraduates from the Physical Education course at UNICAMP, within the Supervised Internship discipline. The students' proposal was to apply, to Elementary School students, from the aforementioned school, some of the exercises contained in the book in a contextualized way, exposing the hygienist nature of the classes that involved bodily practices. Exercises were carried out ordered and separated by gender and then there was a new execution of more current exercises, with male and female students together. After finishing both practical experiences, there was a shared discussion between students, interns and monitor. Considering the reports and notes of the participants, together with the analysis of the book, the relationship between Physical Education and social, political and historical aspects and the bodily relationship with the historical educational heritage in Brazil is evident, a point that presents the historical body , which lives and reflects the moment in which it exists.
