Ethnomotricity: cultural resistance games in community of caizara de Ilhabela – Brazil

Abstract

Understanding the physical education as one of the curriculum components that can and it should contribute to the dialogue concerning cultural diversity we propose the study of the ethno-motricity, understanding it as manifestations related to the games, fights, dances, parties, songs and stories, characteristics of the people / community developed with intentionality and related to educational processes of tradition and resistance of such manifestations. Specifically in that study, we aimed to characterize and to understand the ethno-motricity inhabitant of the seaside looking at the understanding of the practices and the educational processes in them involved, particularly, close to the community inhabitants of the seaside considered traditional, of Tame Beach and adjacencies. Using qualitative methodology of phenomenology inspiration, after insertion and the community's formal consent, we accomplished systematic registration of data in field diaries. Ruled in the analysis of the units of meaning four categories emerged: A) Learned distrust; B) Play-oriented category which we name "Maritorio"; C) Emergent coexistence; D) Religious festivity. We considered that the results reached in this research can contribute with proposed didacticisms in the ambit of the physical education, especially in the basic education, for the knowledge and the recognition of practices and manifestations of other cultures or minority ethnic groups.
