This paper brings methodological reflections from the research group, “Curriculum, culture and difference,” whose focus is the investigation of curricular policies and their effects on the circulations of difference. To do so, we dialogue with the research portrayed in “Pataxó Landscapes and Curriculum Flows: Hybridization processes and biopolitics,” which sought to rethink the possibilities of ethnography in post-structural research in education. Erasing and re-semantizing the scientific itinerary of anthropology focusing on cultural research, we then examine and discuss the potential of phantasmatic ethnographies for post-qualitative research in education. In an approach inflected by post-structural and post-colonial perspectives, we reflect on the potentialities of phantasmatic ethnography in the construction of an autobiofictitious text, which seeks to ethically respond to the questioning of otherness as we simultaneously are affected by spectral ghosts. In this sense, we intend to exemplify how we have been seeking to shuffle the norms of composition of “truths” and realities, treating them as flows of complex fictions.
