Abstract:

Abstract This article seeks to reflect on the presence occupied by sociologist Émile Durkheim in scientific production in the field of Brazilian Physical Education. Methodology: To do so, it starts from a systematic literature review in three scientific journals in the area, namely: Revista Movimento; Pensar a Pratica Magazine and Motrivivência Magazine. From this, the results and final considerations pointed out that: 1) Durkheim is, quantitatively, little used in the scientific production of Brazilian Physical Education; 2) In spite of little action, there seem to be theoretical paths through which discussions between the sociocultural and pedagogical sub-area of Physical Education and Durkheim can take place.
