BARREIRA, Cristiano Roque Antunes. The proof of violence to test the sensible norm: body to body into dispute under the phenomenological perspective on sport psychology. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.3, pp.278-292. ISSN 1809-6867.

These analyzes grasp sport as an eminently intersubjective phenomenon, exploring phenomenological conditions that force the sports practice to its limits and, at its extreme, to break the sports frontiers: it emerges violence. The structure of inter-subjective tension can both, lead to sporting excellence and leads to break sports limits. Every Sport is constituted by the dispute of na object to be dominated, the structuring agent of the competition. In sports, when the aggressive actpasses through the object of the dispute and reaches directly and intentionally the other, it is given the disintegration of its limits into the sphere of violence. As a usual concept in sport psychology, instrumental aggression proves to be unfit to designate combat sports. The empathic experience of both opponents and a third, the referee, will be decisive for the interpretation of the occurence of a violent phenomena or no. From the analysis, emerges a new concept: sensible norm. More than illuminate personal interactions culminating in violence, in sports context or no, this concept points to a whole aesthetic bodily dimension where is founded the inter-subjective interaction experience from hyletic sphere, that is, the sensible affectivity.
