Paralympic sport: difficult inclusion, technological incorporation, competitive bodies

Journal Title: Práxis Educativa - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 2

Abstract

In this paper, we analyze, in an exploratory way, the Paralympic sport. Our focus is on the speeches that value practices that would concern overcoming and inclusion, taking exemplary situations as some representations about the phenomenon. We sought to develop two topics: the composition between performance versus aesthetics mediated by technique, from the concept of aesthetic of presence, proposed by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, and the approximation between the Olympic and Paralympic sport given by the technological incorporation. Finally, we point out ways still poorly covered in the analysis of the phenomenon, with implications of what the Paralympic and also the conventional sport can offer as social expression of current times.
