摘要：This Article has as objective to analyze which Africa and the Africans representations are disclosed by children’s films animation Madagascar 1 and 2. Inspired by the strand post-structuralist analysis of cultural studies in education, it is considered that these movies exert a cultural pedagogy, which teaches and builds representations of this continent. The argument developed is that these movies, to represent Africa, update the dual between nature and culture, associating Africa to the nature and the large metropolises to culture. In this process, the natural pole is considered inferior to the cultural pole. Through unequal power relationships, those who inhabit this continent are also considered lower than the inhabitants of other regions. In this way, the films fall in a long performative process that repeats representations historically constructed about Africa, which are located as a continent exclusively wild, dangerous and inhabited by exotic beings.
