Os significados atribuídos à "perfeição": uma análise da percepção de acadêmicos dos cursos de Educação Física da ESEFFEGO a respeito do corpo ideal

Abstract

In this work we analyzed the perceptions of the meaning of the perfect and idealized body that has made up the discourses of the students of the Physical Education courses at the State University of Goiás, as well as their implications in the various spaces where these future professionals work and how these perceptions are presented in the various periods of training of these students. The theoretical framework is based on contemporary work produced by researchers in Physical Education and other areas of knowledge on the subject. In order to meet the objectives of this work, an exploratory study was carried out, with a field study of students on Physical Education courses, with a sample covering the different periods of training. We hope to understand the relationship between this training and the maintenance and/or overcoming of stereotyped perceptions of perfection and the ideal body, which are so widespread in today's society. We observed that the academic experience proved to be decisive in the students' interpretation of the standardization of bodies and the constitution of an imaginary "ideal body", however, the influence of common sense is also evident at times, thus being responsible for the conceptions of a perfect body aesthetic.
