THE EMERGENCE OF CULTURAL CRITICISM IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN PANDEMIC TIMES

Abstract

It is about reflecting on the intense use of the internet as the mediation of relationships in the coronavirus pandemic, which is related to the modes of subjectification and the construction of discourses around the body in a consumer society. This essay examines two hypotheses: 1) the vast access to the internet linked to an uncritical conception of body culture submits the processes of subjectification to a semi-formation; 2) the bankruptcy of the critique updates subjection processes related to alienation, which also prevents a more democratic education. Therewith, it is concluded that the critical and post-critical curriculum, at this moment, are necessary for the possibility of criticism as the practice of freedom.
