CRUZ, José Dalvo Santiago da. An anthropological approach to the curriculum as a multicultural and ethnically constructed space within Brazilian diversity. Educ. Puc. [online]. 2023, vol.28, e238001.  Epub Feb 30, 2024. ISSN 2318-0870.  https://doi.org/10.24220/2318-0870v28e2023a8001.

This article considers the curriculum a socio-historical construction in a continuous relationship of entities, beliefs, ideologies, cultures, and ethnicities that shape the social status quo in different times. It aims to discourse about the importance of social anthropology in the composition and implementation of the formal education curriculum, exemplifying with the categories of culture and ethnicity. This work employed a bibliographical methodology, in which theories and academic postulates were used, both from the referred discipline and from Pedagogy and History. Its realization is justified based on the curriculum’s relevance in formal education and motivated by this author's teaching experience in Indigenous literacy and social anthropology in undergraduate courses over the last twenty years in multicultural Brazil interpreted polysemically. The results are in a continuous gerund, observed and witnessed in an almost verification that the transversality of understanding and theorizations of the different epistemological areas is crucial in elaborating and implementing the curriculum in tune with the social, cultural, ideological and ethnic disparities that underpin the Brazilian society.

Keywords : Formal education; Ethnic difference; Ethnicity; Cultural relativism.
