ABSTRACT
What can physical education (PE) in schools become after postmodernism? By the way, what was it about within postmodernism, which is taken to have been an ‘age dominated by playfulness, hybridity, relativism, and the fragmentary self’ (invitation to Collective Writing Experiment)? Alluding to Hekman (2009) and Latour (1993), I am not sure that PE ever was postmodern, maybe not even modern. In any case, the purpose of PE has been debated for decades. Perhaps, this confusion around PE mirrors precisely the ambiguity that permeates contemporary societies concerning bodies and embodiment.
