Summary
Artistic representations in the Jerónimos Monastery reveal early influences of intercontinental exploration, tied to a homogeocentric model of imperial expansion. These elements extend beyond visual arts to shape religious expressions, bodily practices like dance and sports, and social language in the 'New World.' The study highlights how this artistic model imposed hegemonic perspectives, suggesting Ethnomotricity Studies as an educational counterpoint for future physical education teachers.
