Abstract
The cultural curriculum is a proposal that seeks to overcome hegemonic and Eurocentric practices, recognize and value differences, and problematize inequalities and injustice with the goal of contributing to the education of caring individuals. To this end, teachers who state that they put it into action are guided by certain political-ethical principles, which leads them to focus on certain body practices through singular pedagogical pathways. In order to identify the perceptions that exist regarding this proposal, the present article compares cultural curricular theory with the data obtained through narrative interviews conducted with teachers who work at a public institution that has a political pedagogical project aligned with this dimension of teaching. The investigation recognizes that, according to the teachers’ responses, student perception of body practices was changed. The students were able to recognize their identities in this educational space and had a better chance of undergoing novel and diversified experiences that promoted increased representativity, which probably caused them to identify with the body practices in question.
