Abstract

This study aims to investigate the process of reception and appropriation of Norbert Elias' work in the Brazilian Physical Education field. To achieve this objective, an analysis was made of the eight main scientific journals of the socio-cultural area in the country. After data collection, 452 studies were found that had some relationship with the author's reference. Among the main results, it is noted that the process of receiving the work of the sociologist began around the 1990s, being intensified only in the present decade. Although there has been a growth of studies in connection with Elias' contributions in the literature, when analyzing the sample texts, it was found that only 17.61% had a rigorous appropriation of the eliasian way of working. In addition, most studies were linked to sports and leisure, indicating the possibility of the author being explored in other contexts.
