What should and what could be understood as the ideal body image in food advertisements which promise to act over the human body, besides nutrition, in a therapeutic and aesthetical way? In order to respond to this question, this study aims to develop an analysis of the locutions and subtitles, mainly the former, of two TV advertisements for the yogurt Activia. The advertisements which make up the corpus of this research belong to the campaigns: Activia works for you and Get into rhythm with Activia. In mid-2008, the first advertisement had to be removed from television due to a determination by the National Agency for Sanitary Vigilance which understood that it could lead spectators to believe that the yogurt would be a definite solution for intestinal problems. We defend that Dannon, even after being prohibited to advertise Activia as food/product which provides better intestine work, continued, with the second advertisement, reproducing the same statements and promises regarding the yogurt´s functional/beneficial properties. Thus, verifying the use of the preconstructed, interdiscourse and meaning-effects activated and updated by Dannon to advertise the product, we intend to observe and understand, specifically, the discursive formation and the linguistic and extralinguistic elements which make up the commercials´ discursivities. In order to study the selected corpus, we sought the theoretical basis of the French School of Discourse Analysis, especially Pecheux´s (2009) studies about interdiscourse and preconstructed. This theory, about the subject of the enunciation which portrays the good and the bad subject, will be dislocated, minimally, outside its domains, as it will partner with Ducrot´s (1987) polyphonic theory of enunciation. This way, using theories from different areas, but which in this study are complementary, we aim to show: i) that Dannon uses meaning-effects supported by the triad health, nutrition and beauty to develop Activia advertisements; ii) the hypothesis that Dannon tries to evoke a memory and knowledge (psychologizing) regarding the regulation of the intestinal function by those who eat this yogurt; iii) that the practical function of this memory is not to advise/inform interlocutors about the supposed benefits of consuming the product daily, but lead them to purchase the yogurt through the interpolation performed by the statement/promise that Activia provides better intestine work, making the person healthy, nourished and beautiful.
