For a Physical Education in terms of potency: what can the body in motion do?

Abstract

Based on theoretical research on philosophers such as Spinoza, Deleuze and Guattari, we problematize the way in which bodily practices can pose to the body the issue of the limits of its (im)potency by means of a circuit of affections that goes from helplessness to joy. We conclude that these practices can be a privileged territory for research of “what can the body in motion do?”, which brings consequences for the Physical Education in dealing pedagogically with them.
