摘要：This paper analyses cultural representations of body from the point of view of the Cultural Studies. Such perspective facilitates the understanding that the education is developed through a multiplicity of spaces and cultural products, not limited to the school. This study stems from the observations accomplished in a classrom of Sciences of a course for adults/workers/steel workers, for an analysis of the discourses (media, science, religion etc.) that has been emphasizing the whiteness (the "white race") as the norm to be proceeded. The main argument is that the hegemonic cultural representations (here, the one of whiteness) presented by these different discourses are producing black identities folded to the whiteness.
