OLIVEIRA, Danilo A. de and SALES, Shirlei Rezende. Pedagogy of eroticism in the bareback curriculum: the transgression of the norms of condom use in porn videos. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2022, vol.27, n.61, pp.117-139. Epub Feb 16, 2023. ISSN 2318-1982. https://doi.org/10.20435/serieestudos.v27i61.1706.
Considering the educational dimension of porn films, we describe and analyze, in this text, the pedagogy of eroticism in the post-critical curriculum perspective. We understand that the curriculum is not restricted to school subjects, but is constituted in different spaces and cultural artifacts. The methodology used in the investigation that supports this article articulated elements of netnography and Foucauldian-inspired discourse analysis. In the production of information, we name a heterogeneous set of sayings, videos and images published in the cyberspace of bareback curriculum. Our analysis focus here is a set of porn videos. The argument developed is that the porn videos released in this curriculum have a function of publicizing bareback as a transgressive practice of socially sanctioned values about the use of condoms in sexual relations between men. Violation of the norm of compulsory condom use is encouraged, thus contributing to making the bareback practice an object of desire, through the stimulation of specific erotic fantasies.
