REVISITING THE NOTION OF FIELD BY PIERRE BOURDIEU TO UNDERSTAND THE PRODUCTION OF KNOWLEDGE IN BRAZILIAN PHYSICAL EDUCATION

ABSTRACT: This article aimed to (re) visit Pierre Bourdieu's notion of the field to understand Brazilian Physical Education as a field of non-neutral knowledge production, full of interests in power disputes. The construction of writing took place from two methodological aspects. The first was a bibliographic review of works by Bourdieu and authors of Brazilian Physical Education who studied the author. The second is based on the sociological analysis carried out on the doctoral thesis produced by one of the authors. We consider that the exercise carried out in this article allows us to think about analytical alternatives in the theoretical and methodological construction of new studies. We point out that the field is recent, under construction and permeated by academic / professional tensions that interfere with its identity. The entire route presented explains the interests of agents and institutions that play symbolically in the fabric of their conveniences. We believe it is essential to unveil the multiple elements that intend this field, mainly concerning its institutionalization, increase, and policy.

摘要：本文旨在（重新）审视皮埃尔·布迪厄（Pierre Bourdieu）的场域（field）概念，以将巴西体育教育（Physical Education）理解为一个非中立的知识生产场域，其中充斥着权力博弈中的各类利益诉求。本文的撰写从两个方法论维度展开：其一为文献综述，涵盖布迪厄本人的相关著作以及研究该学者的巴西体育教育领域学者的作品；其二基于对其中一位作者所完成的博士论文开展的社会学分析。我们认为，本文所开展的研究可为新研究的理论与方法论构建提供可供思考的分析路径。本文指出，该场域尚属新兴，处于构建进程中，且充斥着影响其身份认同的学术与职业张力。全文所述的论述脉络阐释了在其便利关联网络中发挥符号性作用的行动者与机构的利益诉求。我们认为，揭示支撑该场域构建的多重要素至关重要，尤其是在其制度化、发展与政策制定方面。
