The present work reports an essay style that has as its axis of analysis a set of notions that support the category of corporeality in the disciplinary field of Physical Education. Although it is true that it is not necessarily born within this curricular axis, it does find space in the field for the achievement of an educational proposal that alludes to the integral formation, which is the focus of attention of the human motor sciences, as an epistemic alternative proposed by Manuel Sérgio, welcoming the thought of Maurice Merleau Ponty and rescued by other referent authors such as Jean Luc Nancy. Thus, this work concludes that the notions of body,
subject, motricity, movement and corporeality are relevant and fundamental for the epistemic and political positioning of a field in need of renewal.
