The incessant flow of affections generated by the media constructs bodies that reflect subjectivities that organize corporeal actions of relations. This study aimed at analyzing the production of knowledge about the topic “body” linked to “communication” and “media” research in the Brazilian Journals of Physical Education (PE) in the period between the years of 2000 and 2015 in order to visualize the ways in which this field of knowledge has been studying the mediatic affections that revolve around the theme of the body. It was characterized as a qualitative study of a bibliographic review with a panoramic-monographic nature, having as a sample complete online texts of 12 Brazilian Journals of PE classified as A1, A2, B1, B2, B3 and B4 by Capes’WebQualis. We concluded that the body addressed in these texts presents itself as an anchorage point for the articulation of affectations and desires, that is, the body of communication and media is a body in continuous political struggle.
