The course develops in 2 phases:
Phase 1- general part:
Presentation of the main contents:
- the concept of culture, the phenomenon of social representations
- the notions of stereotype and prejudice
- the dynamics of social belonging in self-formation
These contents are fundamental elements of intersection that support the pedagogical point of view in configuring the space for reflection and intervention of a theory of education focused on the identity of the body.
Stage 2-part special
It includes a reflection on the process of body identity construction starting from the theoretical assumptions and the interpretative elements outlined. In this sense, we intend to provide a key to the development of educational journeys aimed at the maturation of the ability to design one's own bodily Self, through the unveiling of the socio-cultural dynamics that tacitly guide the experience. The relationship between self and body will be analyzed against the background of socio-cultural representations in order to identify a space of educability, of specific pedagogical interest, which nourishes itself in particular of the relational, changeable and constructive dimension of the body itself, ie corporeality.
