IMAGES FROM JOURNALS FOCUSED ON PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT TEACHING AND TECHNIQUES (1932-1960)

Abstract

This article identifies the nature of images used by journals focused on Physical Education and Sport teaching and techniques (1932-1960) and analyzes editorial intentions in their uses and appropriations (CERTEAU, 2014). It takes an exploratory quantitative-qualitative approach and the theoretical-methodological assumptions of Cultural History (CHARTIER, 1990). Its sources are images from journals: Revista de Educação Física (1932-1960), Revista Educação Physica (1932-1945), and Revista Brasileira de Educação Física (1944-1952). The analysis points to images of two natures: photographs and drawings (anthropomorphic illustrations, diagrams, sketches, and cartoons). The use of these reading modeling devices by editors was intended to contribute to Physical Education teachers’ training from a perspective emphasizing doing for learning and learning by doing. The images were part of these journals’ editorial projects in order to contribute to disseminate and teach Physical Education practices.
