BONIN, Iara Tatiana; RIPOLL, Daniela  and  AGUIAR, José Vicente. Indigenous thematic under the lens of Cultural Studies and Education - some trends and analytical approaches. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2015, vol.38, n.1, pp.59-69. ISSN 1981-2582.  https://doi.org/10.15448/1981-2582.2015.1.18444.

The purpose of this article is to map and discuss some trends and analytical approaches that have been conducted in theses and dissertations of the field of education that approaches indigenous thematic through Cultural Studies. We analyzed 14 studies involving three key words: indigenous thematic, Cultural Studies and education. It was found that such productions discuss the abstract idea of cultural diversity. In addition, it was noted that the field of Cultural Studies promotes the development of critical analysis that focus on inequalities, power relations, representational practices and policies around identity/difference. In these studies, several concepts and theoretical approaches that problematize ethnocentric visions are used, showing that there is a hegemonic tendency to assign to "other"/indigenous some features that make it strange, object of curiosity and scrutiny.

Keywords : Indigenous Thematic; Cultural Studies; Education.
