RESUMO

This dissertation presents results of a research that had as source the Revista Brasileira de Educação Física (Brazilian Magazine of Physical Education). The theme is related to biopolitical discourses and the subjection processes that are inserted in Physical Education and Sports. The work is inserted in the Historical Research Line, and Education Historiography as well - (FACED/UFU). The analysis had Michel Foucault s works as theoretical foundation. His studies helped to elucidate the several controlling mechanisms that are transmitted by the discourses about humans body. In the first chapter the dissertation examines the new scientific paradigm of Systems Theory. Historically technocrats that represented Physical Education and Sports have chosen Systems Theory for they believe this is the best technique for administration of the governments actions. It was possible to verify that there has been an alignment between the government position and the knowledge produced in the area. The periodical discourses have founded our discussion on bio-politics and subjection; the first and second categories allowed an approach of theoretical and pedagogical nature, respectively. Based on Foucault it was possible to bring to evidence, that the network built by the effective moral and the pedagogic practice of Physical Education both exert a social control by "kidnapping" peoples free time, with good and healthy activities. Regarding subjection we have read articles about pedagogy that are contemporary of the magazine analyzed, showing that techniques used to guide students, that were initially believed as innovative, are truly dominance processes identified in the works of Foucault. We finally discuss the neoliberal model and physical activities as well. Once again, the discourses inserted in higher level institutions allow us to foresee the ideological alignment of Physical and Sports Education to neoliberalism principles that aim at subjecting individuals under the values that support this society model.
