Cuerpo y Educacion Física: Perspectivas latinoamericanas para pensar la educación de los cuerpos

This book promotes theoretical knowledge about practical issues within a field in constant development, such as thinking about Physical Education with the tools that enable the socio-historic construction of the body. Twelve chapters written by internationally recognised academics from Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and Colombia composed this book, which is organised in three parts: the first part includes texts which re-think historic processes that influence current links between society, education and bodies. Second part contains chapters which main aim is to understand the relationship between Physical Education and the body, through epistemological and methodological resources. Finally, the third part groups together texts that explore new paths for the relation between the body and Physical Education.
