How have the notions of culture and curriculum been presented in the physical education referential of the northeast region of Brazil, and what are the regulatory axes in the organization of knowledge? We affirm that the notions of culture and curriculum in the frames of physical education are intertwined with a sense management that regulates, self-regulates and creates a policy of controlling one's own body and human movement in school. To do so, our general objective is to understand the knowledge of culture and curriculum in the reference of physical education, and the processes of regulation of the body. The specific objectives were: 1- to identify the concepts of culture and curriculum; 2 - to understand the meanings and guidelines that regulate physical education; 3 - present and analyze the mechanisms of interdiction of the body, through the notions of culture and curriculum present in the curricular references of physical education. Regarding the methodological aspects, especially on the corpus of analysis of the research, I opted for the qualitative approach of research, considering documentary research and the content analysis of Bardin (2011) as the most significant method for a priori study, as well as approaching our theoretical-methodological options of investigation. In order to maintain contact with the documents, we carried out the floating reading, mapping the most frequent themes and presented as structuring axes for the consolidation of the curricular references of physical education. The categories found were Curriculum Organization, Culture, Pedagogical Knowledge Organization, Didactic-Methodological Guidelines and Learning Assessment. The thesis that the notions of culture and curriculum in the frames of physical education are intertwined with a sense management that regulates, self-regulates and creates a policy of controlling one's own body and human movement in school. The cultural construction of the curriculum regulates the dynamics surrounding the curricular organization. But they are also fed back into the light of pedagogical practice. Students and teachers self-regulate in their specific pedagogical dynamics, thus creating a policy of control of one's own body and movement in the inter-relationships and bodily practices, collectively constructed, and debated in the group as manifestations of their identities.
