Abstract
The purpose of this text was to understand the discourses related to recreation at disciplines of Minas Gerais School of Physical Education (EEFMG) from 1963 to 1969. Data were subjected to analysis of discourse under the archaeological perspective of Foucault and in communication with the history of the disciplines. Analyzing the discourses, we found that meanings of recreation were demarcated by interest and pleasure enunciations. We found a dual perspective on recreation, expressed in the two-edged weapon and spontaneous or vicious recreation, which categorizes actions as right or wrong, good or bad, making other elements present in these experiences secondary, such as solidarity, cooperation and citizenship.
