CORDEIRO, Albert Alan de Sousa. THE COMPETENCE OF CULTURE: functional interculturality on the Common National Curriculum Base. Revista Teias [online]. 2024, vol.25, n.76, pp.293-305. Epub Mar 07, 2024. ISSN 1982-0305. https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2024.75985.
In this article we discuss how cultural diversity is approched in the Common National Curriculum Base. The work was built from the analysis of the document, following the guidelines of documentary research and in accordance with part of the critical bibliography in the curriculum's área (Silva, 2008; Cury, Reis, Zanardi, 2018). We investigated the recurrence of the theme of culture in the general competences of basic education and in the other competences provided by the different areas of knowledge established by the Base, building the discourse that says it is a document that aims to build intercultural curricula in basic education. However, we conclude that the very notion of competence is an approach that reinforces and endorses the neoliberal ideology which, in principle, is monocultural. In this way, the supposed appreciation of cultural diversity present in the BNCC is actually an expression of what Tubino (2005) calls functional interculturality, that is, actions that claim to promote tolerance, but without mentioning the causes of the social and cultural asymmetries prevailing today, which makes intercultural dialogue inauthentic.
