Apropriação das ciências humanas pela Educação Física: análise dos processos de classificação no Brasil entre os anos de 2007 e 2012

Abstract

This paper intends to discuss the position occupied by the humanities in the fi eld of Physical Education and to call into question the relationship between the socially-established knowledge pertaining to the humanities as socially established and portrayed in publication outlets in the fi eld and the interaction between Physical Education and subjects of the humanities. The goal is to refl ect on scientifi c development with base on the communication between research in Physical Education as a whole and subjects and methods originated in the fi eld of human sciences. In order to do that, we present an analysis of the relationship between the fi eld of Physical Education and its incorporation of subjects and methods of the humanities. Articles published by some important Brazilian Physical Education journals from between 2007 and 2012 were organized and classifi ed so as to provide substance to the discussion on the use of references from the humanities and its scope in this fi eld of knowledge. The conclusion is that the understanding of the incorporation of subjects and methods belonging to the humanities by the fi eld of Physical Education comes from observing aspects that are internal to the fi eld itself and the specifi c characteristics of the humanities and, fi nally, the broader society that surrounds them and has an impact on the entire process.
