RESUMO

Initially based on the Etienne-Jules Marey s chronophotography, we went through the methodological research of this French physiologist about the analysis of the fagmentation of the movement, searching for a persistence of a supposed "visual educational program of the urban body in the memory of visual representation in the late nineteenth century medical science and in the art of the beginning of sixteenth century.Present research had as inspiration Marey s images -- which were result of Marey effort to capture, decompose and graphically summarize body movement -- and it aimed to relate this way of describing the body with Leonardo da Vince anatomical and pictorial studies. It was possible to notice, in this set of images, a change in the representation and in the visual study of the body (and soul): the body, mechanical and thermodynamic, accurately harmonized with medium and prudent qualities, is a model of our ways of imagine the reality and reproduce it. Involved in this study, we could find Georges Demeny, Marey s assistant and founder of the "Rational Gymnastics Method", the pedagogic-investigative project that systematized the visual concepts that we study, creating a notable model of Physical Education, which influenced the current concept of body of work, nation and urbes. Throughout this study, it flashes the camera, an allegory of the city. This complex urban device is understood, also, as a place of education of memory. The camera is a potential image that help us to understand the pedagogic traces drawn by the urbes: black box of tacit mechanisms, it preserves the memory, filters the light, compresses the apertures, regulates the speed of the city. Finnaly, it educates mechanically and poetically the bodies.
