Abstract

The creation of the modern school to finals of XIX century brought the formation of a discipline to educate the body. It was in that constitutive moment where practices were delimited for men: military exercises, force, virility, postures; while for women it was expected: perfection of femininity, dance, and rhythmic gymnastics. Of the perpetuation of this two types of stereotypes in the physical education class drift the hypothesis of this research present what is the direct and conditional influence of the cultural practices in relation to the gender expression is reduced to analysis regarding the sex condition read in code from what is biologically attributed. As a theoretical frame work we turn to the contributions of the Queer Theory, and on the other hand, we analyze current regulations for the Argentinian education system taking special reference in the law of integral sexual education of Argentina. The field work was done during the year 2018 in two primary-level public administration schools, located in the cities of Almafuerte and Rio Tercero, of the province of Córdoba, Argentina.
