| dc.description.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 | |
