  • Sociology of the Body
  • Health and Physical Education

Background:

  • Epistemological questioning is vital for examining the foundations of knowledge areas.
  • The concepts of "body techniques" and "self-care" have historical and philosophical roots, notably influenced by thinkers like Foucault and Mauss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the interrelationships between studies on "body techniques" and "self-care."
  • To contextualize the emergence of these concepts and their connections within Western society.

Main Methods:

  • Bibliographical research synthesizing foundational studies (Foucault, Mauss) with contemporary articles.
  • Analysis and correlation of Marcel Mauss's classification of body techniques with self-care possibilities.

Main Results:

  • Identifies that numerous body techniques are integral to historical "regime" practices dating back to the Socratic-Platonic era.
  • Physical Education and Sports Science play a significant role in educating individuals about self-care.

Conclusions:

  • Professionals in Physical Education/Sports Science can create environments for exploring body techniques that promote self-care.
  • Emphasis is placed on empowering individuals to make autonomous choices regarding their self-care practices based on learned knowledge, rather than imposing norms.
