FERREIRA, Valéria Milena Rohrich. Weaving a model city: relations between curriculum, school education and design of Curitiba. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2016, vol.39, n.1, pp.33-45. ISSN 1981-2582.  https://doi.org/10.15448/1981-2582.2016.1.17066.

In the last decade of the twentieth century and at the beginning of XXI Curitiba had an explicit design of the city that grew stronger through different fields, including the education, leading to examine both, the project itself and a place of school education in it. The collected data demonstrated the existence of established groups that increased their cohesion through the project's success ensured by the development of performing opinions of great symbolic power (Bourdieu). What about the outsiders groups (Elias), they could not enforce their views because of the contents and the manner they used to bring their critics. The analysis of official curriculum materials form the municipal schools showed in general, that its contents reinforced the established project of the city, fostering the political apathy of the citizens and making children accept the image of a model city where social and racial inequalities were relegated to the background or even made invisible.
