As theoretical-analytical elements, worked about Discourse Analysis practiced in Brazil around the name of Michel Pêcheux and his group. It started from the presuppositions that we build our methodological procedures: started from the materiality of the documentary, whose structure articulates image, sound and word, looking for traces of the subject positions inscribed in it and of the memory trajects that constitues meanings about playing and the playing body. Those analysis allow us to idetify and understand ideological positions of critics and shocks of medication of body and productibility thats income and shows to our society contemporary. In the material conditions of childhood experience today, there is an injunction to the development of habilities for the world of jobs and consumption, which demand the training of the child's body and the normalization of his behaviour. In response to these ideological demands, the video documentary supports a discursive process in favor of the recovery and valorization of the playful, constituting a discourse of resistance.
