Abstract

From the 1990s, Brazilian newspapers began to refer to the convening of different personalities to comment on the World Cup soccer in their sports pages. This article seeks to examine this phenomenon under the notion that the French philosopher Michel Foucault called the "author function" - one that establishes the existence, circulation and functioning of certain discourses within a specific audience.
