In order to guide my examination I bring mainly Bauman's thoughts about Ambivalence and Order and Alfredo Veiga-Neto's statements about Discipline and Control to take a closer look at the so called modern and post modern individuals' perceptions about Space and Time, as well Egon Carli Klein's research to make a short consideration about Strategy and Gambling Games.

From the Cultural Pedagogies context and through the Cultural Studies fields this study intends to investigate some of the strategies used by Second Life to create a Cultural Pedagogy of Consumption. To achieve such purpose,it brings 3 (three) main subjects for investigation: a) Which are the strategies Second Life employs to create a Cultural Pedagogy of Consumption? b) How specific knowledge concerning to consumption is produced and how this knowledge may promote particular practices among the contemporary subjects throughout the cyberculture playing fields, mainly on what refers to Second Life? c) Which are the ways this Cultural Pedagogy of Consumption is expressed out and how does it entangle the cybersurfer/consumer subjects and their practices inside and out of the metaverse? The centrality of culture proposed by Stuart Hall is the first approach this work launches from the theoretical reference it is constituted by.Starting from the authors Henry Giroux, Shirley Steinberg and Joe Kincheloe, in what concerns to the teachers of the new millennium represented by the commercial institutions,this work also uses the studies about the Cultural Pedagogies developed by Marisa Vorraber Costa, Rosa M. Hessel Silveira, Luís Henrique Sommer and Rosa Maria Bueno Fischer,among others. The investigations on consumption developed by Zigmunt Bauman, Mike Featherstone and Mark Paterson, among other authors, are very important to the accomplishment of this study too. The selected object of investigation comes from incursions through the metaverse from April 2008 to the first semester of 2010, by which images that somehow reveal practices concerned to the institution of a pedagogy of consumption in Second Life were collected. The main conclusions reveals somehow that the Second Life metaverse teaches its residents several ways to use the financial system it institutes, therefore it shows to the users a dicotomic world divided between the items they pay for and the free ones. That is the way by which this metaverse teaches them several ways to seek, find,acquire and how to store the items they looked for (to have anything/ to be someone) inworld.This study also founds out that Second Life creates countless knowledge instances in order to summon the subjects for the consumption. For instance, this cultural artifact sets and teaches knowledge concerning the tools it makes available for searching, acquiring, transferring,storing and manipulating objects. Besides, the Second Life metaverse also teaches the residents how to recognize the “quality level” of the clothing and accessories, among other objects, stimulating them to acquire items they will have to pay for. Finally, it is possible to realize that almost anything can be produced, bought and sold inside the metaverse as everything inside it is called object the same way they are available for consumption. Those are the ways by which this cyberenvironment stimulates several kinds of pleasures straightly connected to the consumption itself, reproducing knowledge instances already created outsideof the metaverse which are attributed to the contemporary consumption society.Keywords: Second Life, metaverse, consumption, culture, education, Cultural Studies.
