Abstract

As the communication mean, the Rio de Janeiro postcards during decades showed women in bikini in the city beaches. In 2005, law project was approved by the State that regulates the exhibition and commercialization of postcards with women images in order to inhibit the sexual tourism. The act of forbidding and controlling those images served as a starting point for this argumentation about the multiple and complex relations among communication, tourism and State. In this paper our goals are to think over how the State intends to control the postcard media. Therefore, we appeal to Foucault’s notion on docile bodies and the anthropologists about body in the universe of culture. These principles were the basis of the analysis regarding the State act in its relation with the media and the body.
