The Biographical Body

This research was developed and presented to the Postgraduate Program in Education - Masters Degree, at the Education Center of the Federal University of Santa Maria. Its main objective is to understand and analyze the meanings of GEPEIS members based on the biographical body, understood as "past, present and future history, through sensations, images, animated visions - sort of waking dreams - reminiscences, but also ideas and choices [...]" where I use Josso (2012, p.27 ) and the confluence of body/mind, trying to think of possibilities for a formative process in education through the bias of the body as an expression of imaginary meanings, a place of memories and sensitivities. For this research, I used body experiences and conversation circles, which were experienced after the experiences. The material produced was analyzed and organized, showing that mobilization and formative experiences through the sensorial route bring about, through biographical bodies, a broadening of body awareness, as well as the possibility of experimenting with other repertoires in training.
