Abstract
CUNHA, Kátia Silva and SILVA, Janini de Paula da. About base and common, national, curricular bases: about which curriculum are we talking?. e-Curriculum [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.4, pp.1236-1257. ISSN 1809-3876. https://doi.org/10.23925/1809-3876.2016v14i4p1236.
With a post-structuralist focus, our paper intends to discuss about the political articulations that are formed around the significant curriculum, and how these articulations influence the project of a national curricular common base, transforming this field of social space into a territory of constant dispute over what is adequate or not to be taught. Our thinking develops around the argument that a curriculum that binds itself to a base - an established standard -, and attempts to build only one foundation, tends to ignore other knowledges present in the experiences of individuals, of their culture and history. Therefore, we go through the writings of Lopes and Macedo (2011), and others about curricular policies, curriculum At last, we use as reference the studies that permeate Discourse Theory. Therefore, we attempt to bring into consideration discussions such as: to attach a fixed base curriculum to the quality of education or to the solution of educational problems is to admit that this fixed base sustains decisions about knowledges and teaching activities that must be directed to all, as if all were equal, and the knowledge were an object to be distributed.
