LISBOA, Dinelle Rejane da Silva  and  SANTOS, Marcio Antonio Raiol dos. THE PRODUCTION OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT MULTICULTURALISM AND BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM: analysis of dissertations and theses from Brazilian postgraduate education programs (2011-2020). Revista Teias [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.69, pp.115-133.  Epub Feb 28, 2023. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2022.65947.

In recent years, there has been an increase in attacks on identity groups, thus expanding racism, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, and misology both in contemporary society and the school context. Studies that encourage practices aimed at respecting diversity, seeking coexistence in a harmonious and egalitarian way, are extremely relevant for the dark days in which we live. In this sense, seeking to understand how the debate on the themes of basic education, curriculum, and multiculturalism is presented in academic productions in theses and dissertations of Brazilian graduate programs, from 2011 to 2020, in the Thesis and Dissertations Catalog from the CAPES Periodicals Portal. The methodology is based on bibliographic research, of the State of the Art type, with a quantitative and qualitative approach, treating the data through content analysis according to Bardin (1977). Thus, the emergence of some categories was possible: Conceptions of multiculturalism addressed in theses and dissertations; Curriculum theories addressed in the works. The results brought some highlights such as: critical and revolutionary multiculturalism presented greater evidence in relation to other conceptions, critical and post-critical curriculum theories predominated among the productions of theses and dissertations. In conclusion, that the academic productions denote a clear direction for the debate aimed at the conception of a critical and revolutionary multiculturalism, and the critical and post-critical bias in the curricular proposals. Thus, demonstrating the position of the Brazilian academic field in the defense of a multicultural, critical and revolutionary curriculum that accepts multiple identities in the educational field.
