REVISTA MOVIMENTO: ANALYSIS OF THE MEANINGS AND REPERCUSSIONS OF A JOURNAL THAT "BUILDS ITSELF" IN THE FIELD OF BRAZILIAN PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

Identifying the journal Movimento as an
institution linked to the history of the School of Physical
Education of the Federal University of Rio Grande do
Sul, this article intends to understand how the process
occurred in its production/impact, from the moment in
which it specialized as a physical education journal in
interface with the human and social sciences (2003-
2010). The responses linked to this objective were
obtained from analysis of semi-structured interviews
with editors and former editors of the journal, as well
as people highlighted in the academic/scientific context
of Brazilian Physical Education; documents related to
periodic production in general, to the journal Movimento
in particular, were also analyzed. It can be concluded
that the specialization process of the journal is linked
to the tension in the academic/scientific field of Brazilian
Physical Education. The meaning of this journal is not
reducible to the socialization of knowledge, but it also
includes a meaning of representativeness and
evaluation/classification in the field, with deep ties to
the graduate program, with which it has a visceral
overlap. This was part of a process that propels itself
at the time of its specialization and other efforts related
to the logic of the scientific field. The journal Movimento
is thus a result and product of its development and of
the development of the sociocultural subfield, where
it is established as a capital.
