Sumario:In this article, we intend to analyze discursively, based upon French-school Discourse Analysis theoretical-methodological apparatus, notoriously represented by Michel Pêcheux and Michel Foucault, an archive of soccer chronicles published in Folha de S. Paulo during 1998 World Cup, in France. Our goal is to show how media, in this case, the writing press, works as a power in the regulation of Brazilian soccer identity and Brazilian society identity as well, since it is through soccer, among other cultural elements, this society is recognized. We use the concepts of power, subjectivity, archive and happening – all of them discussed by Foucault – and also the concept of thematic stretch, developed by Guilhaumou & Maldidier, through which we will verify, in the analyzed chronicles, how the expression “futebol brasileiro” (“Brazilian soccer”) was fulfilled in order to build up a subjectivity to the Brazilian soccer style. Keywords: Discourse. Memory. Identity. Subjectivity. Thematic Stretch. Soccer.
