Autor Alvaro Luiz Penteado Santos Disciplina/Área Educação Física Escola de Implementação do Projeto Col. Estadual Humberto de Alencar Castelo Branco - EFMEPROF e sua localização Município da Escola Pinhais Núcleo Regional de Educação Área Metropolitana Norte Professor Orientador Profº Ms. Carlos Eduardo da Costa Schneider Instituição de Ensino Superior UTFPR Relação Interdisciplinar Artes, História, Geografia, Sociologia, Português. Resumo: O Skate é utilizado nas ruas como forma de lazer e estilo de vida, mas a realidade encontrada na escola é a sua utilização como meio de transporte e muitas vezes o mesmo fica guardado em um canto até o sinal de pegá-lo e voltar para casa. Assim o presente projeto pretende desmistificar os preconceitos ainda existentes em relação aos Esportes Radicais, em especial à modalidade Skate nas aulas de Educação Física no 8º ano período vespertino, dando ênfase aos aspectos contemporâneos que a modalidade enquanto fenômeno esportivo, cultural e social abrange na comunidade local, desta forma articulando a sua prática com as abordagens pedagógicas nas aulas, propiciando uma formação global dos alunos e que constitui num processo digno de formação humana. Caracteriza-se como pesquisa ação, qualitativa e de cunho social. Com a difusão do Skate, é necessário o aprimoramento do conhecimento de suas técnicas de ensino, mais seguras e eficientes, a fim de ampliar as formulações teóricas a este respeito.

  • Surfing, Gender and Politics: Identity and Society in the History of South African Surfing Culture in the Twentieth-Century
    Surfing, gender and politics: Identity and society in the history of South African surfing culture in the twentieth-century. by Glen Thompson Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Albert M. Grundlingh Co-supervisor: Prof. Sandra S. Swart Marc 2015 0 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the author thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 8 October 2014 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study is a socio-cultural history of the sport of surfing from 1959 to the 2000s in South Africa. It critically engages with the “South African Surfing History Archive”, collected in the course of research, by focusing on two inter-related themes in contributing to a critical sports historiography in southern Africa. The first is how surfing in South Africa has come to be considered a white, male sport. The second is whether surfing is political. In addressing these topics the study considers the double whiteness of the Californian influences that shaped local surfing culture at “whites only” beaches during apartheid. The racialised nature of the sport can be found in the emergence of an amateur national surfing association in the mid-1960s and consolidated during the professionalisation of the sport in the mid-1970s.

Professional female surfers, in particular, are drawing greater media attention than ever before and are seen by surf companies as the perfect vehicle to develop this global industry further. Because lifestyle branding has been developed as a modern marketing strategy, this thesis examines the lifestyle marketing practices of the three major surfing companies Billabong, Rip Curl and Quicksilver/Roxy through an investigation of the sponsorship experiences of fifteen sponsored female surfers. The research paradigm guiding this study is an interpretive approach that applies Doris Lessing’s (1991) concept of conformity and Michel Foucault’s (1979) notion of surveillance and the technologies of the self. An ethnographic approach was utilised to examine the main research purpose, namely to: determine the impact of lifestyle marketing by Billabong, Rip Curl and Quicksilver/Roxy on sponsored female surfers.
