ResumoThis paper has as objective to analyze the youthful subjectivities production process engendered by the discourse of the Orkut community I hate to study. Nowadays the Orkut is a site of relationships more accessed in Brazil and has more than 40 million users, being, therefore, an important media-cultural device of the contemporaneity. Based in the Cultural Studies, in the queer theory and in Foucault´s concepts, this paper considers that the subjectivity is produced by discourses, through several techniques, procedures and practices available in the culture, with the objective of behaviors regulation. The argument developed is that the Orkut´s curriculum teaches determined youthful ways of existence, defined by certain behaviors regarding to the school and to the sexuality, transforming the difference into monster. For that, great duels are held between the community members, utilizing standards established as reference, which compose the truth regimes of our time. So, the vagabond youth is produced in opposition to the nerd youth, both subjectivities listed in standards resulted from the social normalization process, which acts jointly at the school and in the Orkut
