Abstract

The paper aimed at analyzing part of the Inezil Penna Marinho work, intending to give visibility to her understanding on the History of Physical Education in Brazil. In order to stand out the representations that Inezil Penna Marinho carried out during her history graphic operation (CERTEAU, 1999), it uses, as primary sources, her studies systematized as books and articles published between the years 1940 and 1958. The research is developed in the Cultural History ambit, having as reference Chartier (1988) theorizations about how, in different places and moments, a certain social reality is built, thought and turned to reading. It also uses the appropriation understanding in Certeau (1994) perspective, to comprehend the practices of uses and the changing of social subjects. The research result stands out that the intellectual production process of Inezil Penna Marinho was more intense in the forties, and after that is started to be scarce and repetitive. It signalizes that the formation process and the academic production happened in an intentional way, in the attempt of preserving a Physical Education memory. Within such memory, the actor is presented as a Physical Education monument, because the actor/ s work was constituted in a way to become witnesses of the area, perpetuating the production and insertion as an authority in the Brazilian Physical Education. Regarding the History perspective, it is observed that in the work Contribution for the history of Physical Education in Brazil and in publications related to it, the perspective is guided on Methodic School. From the year 1958, it is possible to observe a definition that associates History and Art getting closer to another way of making historiography
