PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SCHOOL: DISCIPLINARY MACHINERY, BIOPOLITICS AND GENDERING

Abstract

This work aims to show the way the process of schooling and the discipline of Physical Education helped to produce and generate male and female behavior. To achieve this purpose, this research is based on the genealogical re?ections of Michel Foucault. In conclusion, the study indicates that the Physical Education, through the practices of Gymnastics and Sports, has contributed signi?cantly to the construction of this dual model in the process of schooling.
