SUMMARY:

This thesis, inspired by Cultural Studies in Education and the post-critical understanding of Curriculum, considers as its object of investigation the curriculum of virtual catalogs of products for babies and children. To analytically operate the object, central concepts are articulated such as: gender, understood in the post-structuralist view of language; baby-child, from the understanding of contemporary childhood; device as considered by Michel Foucault; and non-school cultural curriculum based on post-critical studies in curriculum. The understanding of curriculum in the post-critical perspective broadens the notion of curriculum, which can be operationalized in different social and cultural instances and institutions, in the case of this thesis, visualized and analyzed in virtual catalogs of two commercial stores and their respective sections addressed to babies and children and their caregivers. The overall objective was to analyze how virtual product catalogs aimed at babies and children operate in service of the cisheteronormative pedagogical device to regulate the constitution of child and adult subjects. The thesis argument defended is that there is a curriculum in virtual product catalogs for babies and children that, based on the reiteration of binary bodily attributes and capacities, works in service of a cisheteronormative pedagogical device for children through the dissimulation of the androgyny of babies and children. This device is sustained by the ideals of a sexist, patriarchal, neoconservative culture, and is also constantly fed and reinforced by the mechanisms of consumption. For the methodology, a unique method called labyrinthography was chosen, inspired by virtual ethnography, classical ethnography, and autobiographical accounts. Thus, through a labyrinthine approach, new/other catalogs were developed that materialize in the theoretical-methodological paths of this thesis, not to sell, but to read the cultural artifact studied, differentiating them from the virtual sales catalogs of the two stores analyzed in this investigation. From an analytical point of view, it was possible to conclude that the investigated curriculum contributes to the cisheteronormatization of babies and children, made possible, especially, by adults, since they are the ones who, predominantly, direct the behaviors of babies and children, and this direction begins even before birth. The analyses reveal lessons about cisheteronormativity in the non-school curriculum that were sustained by four techniques called: the technique of gender aestheticization, operating with the gendered illustration of cultural artifacts for babies and children; the technique of sexual dimorphism, functioning through the binary modeling of children's fashion; and the technique of binary staging, linked through the segmentation of toys and the playing by babies and children; and the technique of personification, using stereotypes of figures from children's make-believe;
