Rewriting the educated body of the silenced voice and the emotion contained in the body educating

Abstract

The educating body (Planella, 2006) raises the need to consider that the educational process is constituted to the extent that there is a pedagogical subject, namely the person - as subjectivity -, your histories, your experiences, your voices and learning are placed at the very center of all of the pedagogical action. Reconsidering this positioning involves developing thoughts, skills and creative strategies that evidence the experience and knowledge that people have about themselves and their corporeal nature. Hence, narrative research and his interpretive approach contribute us with valid tools for our study. The proposal we are presenting have to develop processes of creativity, expressiveness and non verbal communication through human movement, body awareness and biographical account. The use of corporal micro-narratives, starting on a free and creative writing, is an opportunity for students to become aware of which have been the emotional, affective, educational, structural and cultural elements that have modelled their body and remain silent. At the same time, the reconstruction of the lived experience in their bodies, through their own life, opens the ways for creative development as future professionals. The sixty micro-account analyzed in the first stage of the research that we present form part of a more extensive research proceeding from a doctoral thesis process. The analysis points to several emerging issues: first of all, the educational instructional worldly model shape an insecure body with ridiculous feelings; then, the educating body model is a rigid body, shaped and “frightened”; finally, the body expresses and contains shame, shyness and devaluation opposite the other ones.
