This paper takes the Foucauldian concepts of event (événement) and archive to make an exploratory exercise on the development of procedures to select and analyze two educational videos - "Heart: relationships and external morphology" (1977) and "Hypothyroidism in childhood" (1976) - produced at the Center of Educational Technology for Health, NUTES/UFRJ. We aimed to indicate the contribution of Foucauldian notions for the analysis of such material. In the analytical process, we have moved together with Foucault towards his late works, where we found elements that enabled an analysis of how individuals, exercising their freedom, may constitute themselves as political and ethical subjects, in the intersection of Education and Health, two highly disciplinary and normalizing fields.
