Between Algorithms and Platforms There is a Dance-Education, Creative and Expressive, Claiming the Same Place: The Body

Abstract

In the face of contemporary challenges there is clearly the difference, over time, between the scenarios of dance classes in Brazilian federal universities. Earlier, a few years ago, time brought expressively inexperienced bodies, that is, still in the process of discovering and revealing themselves. In the present day, bodies are identified as devoid and distant from themselves, often demonstrating disinterest in the discovery and expressive appropriation immersed in a virtual logic, under the instructions of platforms and algorithms, in which the body becomes hostage of a system that does not regress, but on the contrary, it is constantly feeding itself. The research is based on the use of autoethnography, as a teaching research method, through records on perception and impressions, from observations of the classes of the discipline Dances, for students of the Physical Education Degree course, in a public university.
