Sumario:This essay aims to discuss the body in science education. For this purpose, we use the concept of the utopic body, establishing a critical perspective of its lack of recognition by subjects as a model of the body imposed by a scientific discourse. As a counterpoint, this study presents the concept of a heterotopic body, as a real and singular body, produced and represented as a practice of resistance. Based on this concept, we can highlight the potential of science education for an aestheticization of science, reintroducing the debate on recognizing the self and other as a theme for a humanistic formative agenda committed to an ethical-aesthetic of otherness in science.
