This study started from a qualitative approach with methodological perspectives of Comparative Education (Popkewitz, 2002; Schriewer, 2001, Catani & Novoa, 2000) and Cartography as a research method (Passos, Kastrup & Escossia, 2009). Through the experiences driven by field research in communion with our own experience – which we can characterize as a participant observation (Ingold, 2014, 2020) – three thematic axes discussed throughout this text were developed: Somatics as an epistemological field; Somatics as a prerogative of curricular cartography; Somatics as an investigation of corporeities. Starting from the hypothesis that Somatics contributes with new pedagogical paths, changing the ways of teaching-learning dance beyond the classic mechanistic epistemology, a contribution was made based on three tracks: (1) arriving – experience a “fullvoid”; (2) awakening – (de)building an inventory of oneself; and (3) experimenting – investigate dance states. The notion of movement deconstruction (Vianna, 2005; Derrida, 2012) is evident for an investigation that mainly aims to create another type of teaching-learning relationshipporSomática - prática (Dança)DançaEnsino-aprendizagemEnsino SuperiorCorporalizaçãoPedagogiaEstéticadoctoral thesis101731612
