A Educação Do Corpo Nos Parques E Recantos Infantis De Campinas-sp (1940-1959)

Abstract

The study aimed to show discourses and practices articulated around body education in parks and playgrounds in the city of Campinas in 1940-1959. Through historical research, it concludes that children’s parks and playgrounds were important institutions for care, education, culture and recreation for children, designed and oriented as a political and educational project to control children, but also to establish local and national identities still not consolidated as modern, urban and rational. © 2016, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul.
