Sumario:The aim of this article is to analyze the production of the desires of nature in YouTube curricula. Curricula are discursive practices that construct representations about desires, genders, sexualities and bodies, affecting forms of existence marked by abjectification and normalization. Using a netnographic approach and discourse analysis inspired by Foucault, I investigate “Nature's Tinder” and the possible matches in this relationship-enhancing network. The biological discourse reinforces coherences and one-dimensional flows of desire, rooted in a cisheteropatriarchal governmental structure or sex-political domination. Heteronormativity is identified in ongoing efforts that portray nature as a technology encompassing only male and female performances, monogamy, competitions, and excessive energy consumption to find a sexual partner. Therefore, it is necessary to think of curricular compositions that transcend the punitive and blaming cisheteronormativity, since the knowledge disseminated in the analyzed videos legitimizes conservative movements, such as the “gender ideology” and the religious discourse.
