SOUZA, Juliano de. THE NEWS OF A CLASSIC: EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA HUMANISTA OF VITOR MARINHO DE OLIVEIRA. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.23, e230078.  Epub Nov 23, 2018. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782018230078.

Educação física humanista of Vitor Marinho de Oliveira is effectively a classic of Physical Education in Brazil. In this text, I try to revisit this work and locate it in front of two epistemological contexts drawn in the area of Physical Education, one, the historically established conflict between “ideology” and “utopia” and another, the “new theoretical movement”, which has flashed some of its distinctive features in the field. In the first part of the manuscript, I intend to retrace some clues to understand that this work was silenced in the area. In the second part, they try to demonstrate to what extent a work anticipates the questions that can be the object of a test on the proposal of a physical education reflexive theory that brings individuals and social action to the center of the investigative process. As a conclusion, I emphasize that the work Educação física humanista, already at the time of its onset, manifested nuances of correspondence with the social reality that was announced, but was nevertheless left aside, including by its mentor, for reasons beyond the internal strength of arguments and have to do with systems of political-scientific beliefs.

Keywords : epistemology; physical education theory; sociological theory.
