實物特徵:The essay examines Fernando González’s Viaje a pie (originally published in 1929), highlighting his revolutionary view of the body as a site of experience and knowledge —a stark contrast to the dualistic, disciplinary approaches dominating physical education in his time. Influenced by Nietzsche and vitalist philosophies, González bridges corporeality, sensory perception, and thought, framing acts such as walking as philosophical practices that connect the self to the world. His work critiques the repression of the body under Catholic morality and abstract intellectualism, foreshadowing contemporary debates on embodied education, ecomotricity, and somatic practices. González emphasizes the body-nature relationship and spirituality through sensory engagement, aligning with modern approaches such as mindfulness and critical pedagogy. While his perspective carries historical limitations (e. g., overlooking gender dynamics), his legacy invites reimagining of physical education as holistic and liberating —where movement transcends technique to foster self-awareness and freedom. The essay underscores González’s relevance for developing context-sensitive educational practices in Latin America, rooted in bodily experience as a transformative force.
