Abstract

MARIANO, André Luiz Sena. Raymond Williams and cultural materialism: approaches to the history of curriculum and teaching profession. Rev. Elet. Educ. [online]. 2016, vol.10, n.2, pp.332-344. ISSN 1982-7199.  https://doi.org/10.14244/198271991435.

The present study is an essay that aims to present elements of the British Raymond Williams’ work which may contribute to the studies in History of Education, especially those related to curriculum and teacher profession themes. The paper has the premise of identifying concepts that may present heuristic potential to the research, recognizing its cultural materialism perspective and particularly that school is part of this movement that can be thought based on concepts such as residual and emerging elements; structures of feelings, tradition, institution and formation; it also claims there is little insertion of the author’s work in Educational field. The text seeks to show the author’s potential for studies concerning curriculum and teacher profession history, by recognizing that it it is in school that the cultural elements are transformed and given a new sense and this resignification role is undertaken by those who perform the teacher’s craft. It concludes by highlighting, firstly, that we’re not defending that Williams’ work acts as a panacea or a straightjacket for studies about curriculum and teaching profession history; secondly, that such studies can be enriched by analyses that assume teaching methods as the most important elements in teaching profession and such methods - as well as the cultural dynamics - are strongly engaged in the production of a kind of subjectivity.

Keywords : Raymond Williams; Cultural Materialism; Curriculum; Teaching Profession.
