Body and identity: visual arts for a hermeneutics of difference. Experiences with teachers in initial training
Keywords:

Abstract
Helping other people to assume, in a positive way, the relationship between our own body and our identity is an important pedagogical challenge. It should be considered already in the primary school. In this paper, we will summarize a research focused on the experiences introduced in the teacher training process, in order to explore the sentience of the body trough visual arts. Art images and written language have been useful for the participants to give significance to their lived experience. The process brings out subjects such as corporal aesthetic canon, functional diversity, illness or body damage.Downloads
