Modern interpretations of the “bodyˮ, “corporealityˮ and “corporeal practicesˮ in the domestic anthropology of childhood and education

Modern interdisciplinary studies of the body and corporeality have a wide range of scientific disciplines: sociocultural anthropology and sociology of sport; history and anthropology of medicine; gender studies of corporeality; sociology of power, etc. The anthropology of childhood and education can be assigned the role of reconstructing the structures of reality, thanks to which subjective dispositions are formed. In studies of the “bodyˮ, “corporealityˮ and “corporeal practicesˮ in domestic works on the anthropology of childhood and education, such lines of knowledge are distinguished as: articulation (fixing in language and texts), reconfiguration (changing the status of individual elements of practice) and borrowing (using other experience). Examples of the implementation of the articulation line can be called the study of the influence of Westernization on the bodily practices of children and youth of the late socialist era, as well as gender aspects in the practices of international correspondence and international visits. The study of the reconfiguration of bodily practices in the domestic anthropology of childhood is mediated by a change in the attitude towards childhood on the part of parents, social institutions and the state. A striking example in this sense can be the reconstruction of the attitude of adults to children's pranks at the everyday and institutional normative level. The experience of learning the relevant phenomena through borrowing includes the interpretation of the practices of experiencing, coordinating actions in a group, mastering the basics of literacy, in addition, the study of the evolution of ideas about a children's toy is relevant.
