Maracatu Nação Leão Coroado como fruto da árvore da vida: por um caminho de conhecimento simbólico e estético na Educação Física

Abstract

I invoke in this work thousands of sensations that draw latent paths of dialogues and discussions which construct sensible horizons to think Physical Education as a wide area, disseminating spaces of knowledge appropriation ever closer to the reality lived, traditional knowledge, gestures and their meanings. For this reason, I believe in Maracatu as a cultural manifestation capable of interlacing thousands of concepts pertinent to Physical Education, so I focus on relating symbols, aesthetics and culture as imbricated concepts and essential in the struggle for sensitive eyes, in order to of surpassing the harnesses of a Physical Education focused on mechanicism. In this study, we take as reference the reality of the Maracatu Nation Lion Crowned. Intentional choice for being one of the oldest nations in Brazil, with 153 years of existence, encompassing in your life aspects sufficient for the reflection of the body and its sensations. We have as main objective to reflect on the Maracatu Lion Crowned from the symbolic, cultural and aesthetic meanings; besides expanding and presenting new scenarios for the area of Physical Education. Thus, this study used the Qualitative Research, supported by the adoption of the phenomenological attitude of Merleau-Ponty, as a philosophical current centered on the experiences of life shared with other experiences, taking into account, this, as the primary source of knowledge. Given the above, for we enter the universe of these reflections used as research technique the network of meanings, in order to enable us to approach the senses and meanings emanating from the phenomenon in the set of fonts from multiple record types, as: the bibliographic review; collecting materials from nations with the use of the GoPro camera (visual audio, interviews, comments, occurrences, etc); observation of nations in presentations; analysis of visual materials (documentary videos, testimonials). In the present work we show the Maracatu Nação Leão Coroado as the fruit of the tree of life, because it finds the bodies of the voice, listening, the body of silent language and gestures, expressive and creative bodies are bodies that ratify the fertile ground of intensities projected by the lived experiences.In this way, the symbolic and aesthetic signifiers unveiled in our tree of life give us to think of the body in its vibrant sensibility, in its esthetic and in its intercorporeality, state of contacts and interlacings with the other, with the objects and with the world, as scenarios of knowledge that amplify a sensible path in Physical Education
