CARDOSO, Carlos Luiz; KUNZ, Elenor  and  CUNHA, António Camilo. Anthropological foundations of self-motion: Perception, movement and salutogenesis. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.1, pp.155-184. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.7383.

The present essay aims to expand the study of self-motion concept as the basis for responsible Physical Education. From a phenomenological-hermeneutic reading, it is worth highlighting two primary authors on the anthropological bases of human movement within the Gestaltkreis. From Viktor von Weizsäcker, results show that there are new foundations for a differentiated intervention in the health area called medical anthropology, and with the central axis in perception-movement. Then, from Paul Christian, a new understanding of the human being that moves in the intentionality emerges. Given these findings, it is possible to suggest topics for teachers' training and for the development of school projects, with didactic arrangements where children and youth may follow the paradigm of salutogenesis, unlike the hegemonic pathogenesis. Also, it is worth suggesting that the educational goal can be the relationships in the world at healthy levels, and the axis may be the sense of life in movement.

Keywords : Physical Education; Medical anthropology; Perception-movement; self-motion.
