Los cuerpos de Foucault: una genealogía de los estudios foucaultianos en el campo de académico de la Educación Física en Brasil y en la Argentina

摘要

This paper aims to analyze the researche developed in the Physical Education academic field of two south American countries, Argentina and Brazil, based on Michel Foucault′s work. Our analysis focuses three Brazilian researchers: Homero Luis Alves de Lima, Alex Branco Fraga and Luiz Carlos Rigo and three Argentinian ones: ángela Aisenstein, Ricardo Crisorio and Pablo Ariel Scharagrodsky. We show how these investigations are mostly based on the second foucaultian dominium, as well their relevance to denounce conditions such as disciplinarization of the bodies and the bio political control of the population. Nevertheless, the 3rd dominium of Foucault′s work is not referred. We assume that this dominium would be helpful to construct a pedagogical proposal for physical education, beyond mere criticism.
