LOST IN TRANSITION OR LOST IN TRANSLATION? WHAT PHYSICAL LITERACY LACKS
Abstract
The paper examines the cultural evolution of the meaning of the body through the major thinkers of modernity and postmodernity, relating this evolution to the new stimuli arising from the knowledge produced by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. If we want to redefine the concept of the body from a monistic, unitary perspective, as Whitehead advocates, rather than from a dualistic, divisive one, as is often the case in the current narrative, those responsible for this change need to undergo training that incorporates these ideas. To achieve this, it is essential that those guiding this cultural shift, particularly physical education teachers, receive adequate training. This training should not be limited to Physical Literacy but should also include philosophical and humanistic subjects. This approach could bridge the gap with the bio-health and performance-oriented focus that currently dominates academic training programs.
