Sumario:Warrior bodies were produced through several strategies at different times and places. This work analysis the constitution of warrior bodies in an elementary school curriculum based upon theoretical referentials of the post-structuralist branch of cultural studies as well as queer studies. The argument developed is the one that gender norms position the bodiesconsidered boy-students at different levels of normality and also intertwine with a ranking tecnology, so as to produce a gender ranking in the researched curriculum. Through these procedures, boy-students are positioned in a ranking order according to strength, courage and aggressiveness, consideredmasculine warrior attributes.
