Intelectuais mediadores e a internacionalização de saberes: Kumlien e a ginástica sueca (1895 - 1921)

Abstract

Resumo Entre os séculos XIX e XX, um intenso movimento de internacionalização tomou lugar no Instituto Central de Ginástica de Estocolmo (GCI), apostando, entre outras ações, no trânsito de sujeitos da Suécia para outros países. Ludvig Gideon Kumlien (1874-1934), sueco, se mudou para Paris e realizou diferentes ações para divulgar a ginástica sueca. Objetiva-se aqui, mobilizando a noção de intelectuais mediadores, analisar as estratégias de divulgação empreendidas por Kumlien na França entre os anos de 1895 e 1921. Como fontes, recorreu-se a jornais franceses e manuais de ginástica. Concluiu-se que Kumlien, no encontro com uma nova cultura, traçou estratégias para driblar as resistências, mas não abandonou o modus operandi dos sujeitos formados no GCI.

The itineraries of Ludvig Kumlien and the dissemination of Swedish gymnastics in France (1895-1921)

“…There was also the record of a lecture given by Dr. Michaux in 1901 at the institute founded by Kumlien, about the effects of Ling's method. The article states that the event had Colonel Dérué and Senator Pauliat, 12 as well as doctors and medical students, as spectators (Conférence, 1901). Revista Brasileira de Educação, v. 29, e290032, 2024 In addition to these exhibitions, one gymnastics presentation by Kumlien in the ballroom of the newspaper Le Figaro in 1904 stands out.…”

“…According to Bonifácio (2019), this change in authorship may be related to the intense French debate about the official method of Physical Education. If, at first, Swedish gymnastics were celebrated, at the time of the publication of the second edition of the manual it was criticized for being a foreign proposal.…”

“…25 In this sense, it is believed that the illustrations were Kumlien's biggest wager in this new manual. Lamm, the editor of the manual, and Swedish like Kumlien, had the publication of illustrated books as one of his specialities (Bonifácio, 2019). At the end of the book, there was a type of booklet/ appendix with several illustrations of the series of exercises, which was folded over because it was composed of larger pages than those of the manual (Figure 3).…”

“…This movement was very present in France due to the activities of Pierre de Coubertin, one of the most important names in the Olympic Games of the modern era and for whom Fabens worked as a member of the first edition committee based in Athens, Greece, in 1896. Pierre de Coubertin also made it possible to bring the second edition of the games to Paris in 1900 (Bonifácio, 2019). Dr. Michaux, in turn, wrote the introduction to the first manual and the preface to the second, which shows an interest in the legitimacy of the medical discourse.…”

“…Moreover, these publications gained relative prominence while they won awards, were reedited, translated. It is also believed that they had various uses: as guides for teachers, manuals for common practitioners, reference works, among others (Vago, 2002;Baía, Bonifácio and Moreno, 2019;Bonifácio, 2019).…”
