This article summarizes part of the results of a research that aimed to investigate the modes of action of the nudity curriculum in the production of sexuality and gender relations in cyberculture. The analysis of the research was built based on the post-critical educational perspective, which understands that the curriculum is a cultural artifact that produces modes of existence and can multiply meanings, knowledge and creative resistances. The analysis of the nudity curriculum seeks to cause ruptures, because it is conceptually based on the notion of cultural curriculum that doesn’t only apply to the school. In this sense, the nudity curriculum is analyzed through the productive power relations, the regimes of truth, the subjects’ constitution and the discourses disputes and practices. We articulated elements of netnography and the discourse analysis based on Foucault to investigate three secret groups of the social network Facebook. The main purpose of these secret groups was to trade, publish and play with nude self pictures. We also did online interviews with ten participants of the groups, to complement and deepen the production of information. The argument of this paper is that in the nudity curriculum the subjects denounce asymmetrical gender and sexuality relations and, in this sense, they resist to certain contemporary policy norms and to the regime of corporeality.
