Intercorporeidades juveniles, un estudio sobre los intercambios táctiles en el recreo

Abstract

The Creating Research - "youth inter - corporalities. A study on tactile exchanges in school playtime" is an exploration of the hermeneutical order using a mixed methodology: on the one hand elements of Ethnography (field notes) and on the other hand, elements of the Research Based on the Arts (performance). This research inquires on the ways in which young students build their relations and get linked, particularly during playtime. This research assumes the body from the critical perspective of embodiment where body, spirit and soul are not separated elements but are part of the human being and constitute it. To obtain the material to be analyzed the young students’ point of view was taken into account. It was they who took field notes from playtime observations and built a performative piece from those. Young people are alive and present in this research. After analyzing the obtained material it is concluded that one of the ways how young people in schools get linked is from the extended senses that, for purposes of the research, are called extended tactilities. It is through the extended tactilities that effects are produced on the other, the other is "touched". In the context in which this research is conducted, the ways of touching are generally produced from violence. That is the reason why in the third chapter the construction of classroom experiences that enable young men and women to relate with the other by means of affection is proposed, as well as the recognition and empowerment of their educational processes, which involves touching the other not from the violence but from the emotional expanded tactilities, this makes resistance arise and is a place to escape from those violent types of relationships, types that were installed and naturalized in Colombian schools. The actions that are based on emotional expanded tactility belong to the creative - pedagogical order where the possibility of re-creating us is provided, both of them young guys and girls in school in relationships as well as me in my capacity as a master of arts against my educational practices.
