Algunas relaciones entre juego y experiencia humana. Cuando invitamos a jugar ¿Qué experiencia nos proponemos vivir con nuestros alumnos?

Abstract

This article proposes to focus the view in the development of the concept of human experience and game as a constant place of reference between what is fact and fiction, and to the dimension of the social practice of the individuals. Who sets out to take part in a game, is setting out to live an experience, always with other people, and in the meta-communicational frame of a subtle agreement that institutes ‘this is game’ (Baetson, 1991). And this experience is lived knowing that ‘is being ridden’ over the limits of the real, and this relation can be established with the trips, narration and social practice named aesthetic (without getting rid of other possible relations). Within the Physical Education frame, there is a well-known idea about the experiential character of the contents, but few times we stop to analyze in depth this idea and its significance in the didactic proposal. According to the teacher Victor Pavía, the ‘moment of the invitation to the game’ lives together with reference to the everyday experiences of the individuals. With the help of three contemporary authors, John Dewey, Walter Benjamin and Jorge Larrosa, these ideas can bring closer the didactic strategy to the magic moment of fiction.
