Abstract

Abstract. The article proposes a discussion on the concept of discourse in its three domains (being-knowing, being-being and being-with oneself) based on Michel Foucault's thought, understanding this category as one of the most important of his “toolbox”. Starting from this discussion, a dialogue develops with the production in the field of Brazilian physical education; the purpose is to understand the ways Foucault's notion of discourse in its different domains is received, and to propose new possible problems for the field of physical education. Although the presence of Foucault's thought and his concept of discourse in the academic field of Brazilian physical education is intense and fruitful, the third domain, being-with-oneself, remains almost unexplored. Likewise, the great potential of this category for the development of new problematizations in the field of physical education is highlighted.
