In this paper the tensions between a cyclebased curriculum and a grade-based curriculum, in Várzea Grande - M T, a r e problematized. The study aims at understanding the power relations established in processes of production of curricular policies processes, considering antagonistic coexisting curricular organizations. The study is supported on a theoretic-methodological approach which is centrally based in the understanding of curricular policies being constituted in a cyclic movement (BALL, 2001, 2006) and as discourse (LACLAU, 1986, 1996; MOUFFE, 2003). The considerations about a cycle-based curriculum and curriculum politicy are founded in Moreira (1990), Freitas (2003), Lopes (2005), Araújo (2006), Oliveira (2008), Mainardes (2007, 2009), and Silva (2010). The power which permeates the dispute between the cyclebased curriculum - Project CBAC (2004) - and the grade-based curriculum is a movement within the curricular policy of the municipality of Várzea Grande. This movement of power allows tensions in the curricular field, in quest for the universality of one single curriculum. The investigation shows that such is a constant quest, what makes it impossible to assert the hegemony of one form of curricular organization, or the other.

Keywords : Curriculum; Discourse; Power Relations.
