The Process of Sportivization of School Praxis and the Significance of the Sports Phenomenon

Abstract

Sportivization like any acculturation process has moments. The attempt at acculturation is shown at first that we could call zero moment, where it is more evident, it reveals a collision with what has been taking place (games and other bodily practices) that in some way is stressed to be "forced" transformed into sport. This perspective maintains that there is a parallelism between the process of civilization and the creation of sport, it allows to know changes at a social level. In this sense, “forcibly”, for two reasons: a) because that practice corresponded to some extent to a tradition, in the sense of a way/s of doing, remembering and feeling; and b) because as in all decision-making where there are groups involved, sometimes there are agreements, submissions, which are ultimately power struggles. The purpose of this work is to understand a perspective of the conformation of modern sport, through a journey of the processes of significance of this practice, from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day, in relation to the conformation of physical education as a school discipline. Sport is analyzed as a social fact, allowing in this sense to think of this phenomenon as a construction, which manifests itself as an expression of culture, in a historical understanding and against a social policy, which enables the field of growth and growth. sports study. Sports practices choose a process of meaning and resignification in the different contexts of interaction.
