Abstract

This paper sets out to reach an understanding of the process of how masculinities ae formed based on interactions between a group of twenty children. The results  of a doctoral research paper are presented, which was submitted in 2014, as part of the Post-Graduate Program in Art and Visual Culture of the Federal University of Goiás (Brazil). The theoretical perspective focuses on post-structuralist discussions of studies on visual culture, education, gender and sexualities. The research methodology took an ethnographical slant and used focus groups, photographs and a field diary as instruments for producing data. The text is organized into two parts: (1) visual culture and ethnographic possibilities in research studies on children and; (2) representations of masculinities in the classroom based on gender and sexuality studies.
