Charles tiene toda la razón. Es "Thus,..." Quise para el texto de pdf a word y no pude y él ha pescado mis errores. Mis disculpas!

Charles wrote: "It is clear that Magdalena inadvertently miscopied the text in her question."
We don't know which published version of the author's text she has as her ST. For all we know, she might be working from the author's handwritten manuscript and that might say something different to what your google books source says.
Unless and until Magdalena comes back and says she injected a couple or three typos in her quote from the ST, and not just the one I suggested, everything is open to conjecture

Insofar as it may be argued that the authors of the ST (the editors of the volume) would have been better advised to write something else, your comment is valid. But what they did write is not open to dispute, and that is what is being translated here. It is clear that Magdalena inadvertently miscopied the text in her question.

Are you suggesting that that in some way invalidates my previous comment? If so, in what way?

The reading I reproduced in my answer is taken from the published version of the source text, available in Google Books. That source text (the identity of which has been made clear in other questions recently posted by Magdalena) is a volume entitled Subjectivity: Ethnographic Investigations, ed. João Guilherme Biehl, Byron Good & Arthur Kleinman (Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 2007). The passage quoted in this question is on p. 29.

I agree that there's an error in the ST "as quoted", but I suggest that it makes far more sense, and much more elegant English, if subjectivity is retyped as subjectively. That looks to me very much like a simple uncorrected OCR error.
'This' most certainly does not need to be rewritten as 'Thus', nor 'become' as 'becomes', although some sensible punctuation would not go amiss.

This bodily affects, and subjectively becomes, the media ...

Now after reading Charles findings the sentence makes sense
Thus, bodily affects and subjectivity become the media...
what a difference two words make!

la subjectividad se convierte en el medio por el cual se manda y controla la colectividad.
I have to say that "this, bodily affects" is a very odd part of the sentence...
