OLIVEIRA, INÊS BARBOSA DE  and  SUSSEKIND, MARIA LUIZA. FROM CRITICAL THEORIES TO THEORIES’ CRITICISM: EVIDENCE-BASED STUDY ABOUT THE FRAMING OF DEBATES ON CURRICULA IN BRAZIL. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.71, pp.130-131.  Epub Sep 25, 2017. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782017227157.

The development of curriculum studies in Brazil is marked by the influence of critical theories which remain substantial and perhaps hegemonic even when no longer majoritarian, causing authors of other lines and trends to dialogue with it compulsorily, even if subliminally. Our hypothesis to understand such phenomenon is related to the intrinsic importance of debate when constituting curricula across the country, considering that current post-critical tendencies are linked to a progressive, leftist thinking, to a social, emancipatory and democratic project; it means that to a certain extent, they emerged as the new “leftists”, from critical theories and the traditional left. In this way, we aimed to outline the trajectory of such theories and the dialogues promoted by and established between them as a means to understand the current trends in curriculum studies and their relation to critical theories.

Keywords : curriculum theories; critical theory; curriculum field.
