Abstract

In this article, an analysis of how cultural consumer practices mobilize possibilities in the relation between the epistemological dimensions of the mathematics knowledge axis and the constitution of new juvenile subjectivities axis is presented, specifically in the middle and high school level of Colombian education. The data analyzed was extracted from Master degree thesis, developed between 2011 and 2015, by students of the Docencia de la Matemática program of the Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, in Bogotá, Colombia. For the analysis, as a theoretic-methodological reference, relations between the sociopolitical approach of mathematics education, Foucauldian studies in education, ethno mathematics and Latin-American social theories, are configured. The analysis shows that cultural consumer practices open the possibility of questioning the focus that defines the normative matrix of exclusive mathematics schooling mechanisms and possibilities in the constructions of juvenile subjectivities. At the same time, it shows the limitations for introducing significant variations in mathematics schooling in secondary education.

Keywords: cultural practices, juvenile subjectivities, normative behavior matrix, exclusive mathematics schooling mechanisms.
