<b> Times and spaces of (bodily) in childhood’s experience by female teachers’ memory

Abstract

 This paper presents some results of a research whose main objective is to investigate social bodily experiences of childhood in the education of the teachers of Kindergarten. We interviewed six teachers of public Kindergartens of Florianopolis, selected from among those who as children attended Kindergarten. They were invited to evoke memories of their childhood, especially those concerning the bodily experiences. The narratives indicate issues related to the organization of the spaces of cities - urban changes - that imply being a child. It suggest in addition a reversal process in time and space of child bodily experiences: what once had secured space at home and on the street is possibility today just in Kindergartens. The experiences of childhood, remembered at the time of the interviews, the possibilities and conformations say that the environment itself exerts on childhood’s (bodily) experiences. They confirm that there is a temporality of conceptions of Childhood and Early Childhood Education, and that bodily experiences are a main topic in timing and placing of Kindergarten.
