Abstract
In this work I seek to comprehend the body and its identity constitution, particularly within the theoretical postulates of the French Discourse Analysis, developed in Brazil, from the studies of Michel Foucault. Then, I present three videos posted on Youtube as the corpora, which serve as materialities in order to discuss the relation among subjects, concerning the place the body takes as a discursive object. Thus, I focus on the subject and its practices of hygiene, highlighting three kinds of subject relations and their bodies: first, some aspects that compose the domination of bodies; second, the body used as a way of desire and passion control; third, the body as places of resistance and liberty production. Finally, the body is studied according to its relation of power among subjects, producing identities through the media.Downloads
