Abstract

MAKNAMARA, Marlécio. When cultural artifacts make up curriculum and produce subjects. Rev. Reflex [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.2, pp.58-72.  Epub July 14, 2025. ISSN 1982-9949.  https://doi.org/10.17058/rea.v28i2.14189.

This article discusses music as a cultural artifact of interest to the educational field in the face of disputes over the privilege of educating people and its "subject wills". Revisits and broadens research results on the curriculum of a musical style to illustrate how a seemingly innocuous cultural artifact can be investigated and signified as a teaching machine. It suggests methodological contributions to those who undertake the task of investigating cultural artifacts according to the post-critical theories. It concludes that it is urgent to spell out the gimmicks that make cultural artifact curricula so effective in their ability to recruit, produce, and regulate subjects.

Keywords : Curriculum; Cultural artifacts; Subject production.
