Experiências psicossociais produzidas pelas práticas corporais de movimento em adolescentes pertencentes a territórios socialmente vulneráveis

Abstract

The term “bodily practices” is used to express different forms of bodily activity or cultural expressions. Recent studies emphasize its relevance, corroborating the idea that the experiences acquired are fundamental for the subject's healthy development, acting as a protection strategy against the social vulnerabilities faced. Seeking to analyze the experiences of bodily movement practices in adolescents belonging to socially vulnerable territories, this research was developed within the scope of public policies, specifically in units of the Unified Social Assistance System in a municipality in the interior of the state of Rio de Janeiro. During the study, 16 semi-structured interviews and observation work were carried out with ethnographic inspiration and recorded in a field diary. Throughout the text, we analyze the way in which bodily movement practices permeate adolescents' experiences with their bodies, their peers, their family and their territory. In this way, the study sought to work on bodily movement practices as part of a set of public policies and not from an isolated perspective. Understanding the need for permanent dialogue with other social rights.
