This paper seeks to identify and analyze the manifestations of the colonial matrix of power in the curriculum of an undergraduate course in International Relations in the state of Rio Grande do Sul-Brazil. A critical and qualitative analysis of the Course Pedagogical Project (PPC) is carried out based on theoretical interlocutions between curriculum and de(s)coloniality in the light of Textual Discourse Analysis. It is argued that in modernity/coloniality the curriculum is also constituted as a colonial device of regulation and control. The coloniality of being, power, and knowledge manifest in it and guide its prescribed, real, and hidden dimensions. The analysis recognizes that the university incorporates and reproduces the paradigm of modernity, reinforcing these colonialities in and through the curriculum.

Keywords : curriculum; decoloniality; colonial matrix of power; international relations.
