O corpo virtualizado nas relações tecnológicas com o esporte nos jogos de vídeo e mídias informacionais.

Abstract

The sport and body representation in video games and sports television shows leads to reinterpretation of the body culture of movement. Given this scenario, the objective of this research was to identify and analyze the media consumption related to sports virtualization and its influence in shaping the bodies. It is a descriptive field with a qualitative approach performed with 50 students in the youth age range of 15-24 years old from public High School and College at the University of Pernambuco - UPE, Recife - PE, Brazil. The assessment was made through the Content Analysis. The results indicate that the media sportive virtualization is marked by spectacularized playback. This virtualization leads to the understanding of a multifaceted body constitution both in the teleshow sport and in the body and/or virtual practice.
