Abstract
This paper is part of the context of a study aimed at looking into the “state of the art” of knowledge production on the body in five Brazilian Physical Education journals (Revista Brasileira de Ciência e Movimento, Motus Corporis, Pensar a Prática, Motrivivência and Revista da Educação Física). In methodological terms, it conducted content analysis of articles about the body circumscribed to the sociocultural and pedagogical area. The analysis organized the texts into five categories (Body and Education; Body and Representation; Body and Gender; Body and Technology; Others), which was also an opportunity to characterize the main problems and theoretical and methodological references most often used in the texts.
