Considerations on regulation and heterotopia in Physical Education classes

Abstract

Every day, school faces many challenges when dealing with the way children and adolescents present themselves. Their indifference regarding the conduct regulation strategies promoted by the school system indicates the exhaustion of the school’s goals and analyses related to disciplinary and moral control. Based on the definition of heterotopia elaborated by Michel Foucault, this article proposes different ways to refer to power relations that are present in the school routine, with a focus on Physical Education classes. It considers that, by promoting and presenting heteropic roles for resistance to school regulatory practices, children and adolescents reinforce this difference, the life, and favor new ways to consider school space-time.
