Abstract

GURGEL, Evanilson; MAKNAMARA, Marlécio  and  CHAVES, Sílvia. Between an “obscene curriculum” and a “crazy curriculum”: compositions of a “minor curriculum”. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2021, vol.59, n.62, e-26701.  Epub Apr 18, 2022. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2021v59n62id26701.

The article focuses on the curriculum of serial narratives in their two expressions: a "major curriculum", constituted by molar lines which presents a system of reference by which binary forms organize and produce us as serialized individuals; and a "minor curriculum", which, by triggering laughter and joyful passions, composes a tracing of escape lines capable of deterritorializing the "major curriculum" and the modeling of subjectivity. The argument is that, in the curriculum of serial narratives, one can go beyond normative conventions and establish the opening for the constitution of other ways of life, despite the lines of force of conformity to certain strata. By mapping two serial narratives, we evidenced the composition of an “obscene curriculum”, referring to “Fleabag” TV show, and a “crazy curriculum”, regarding to “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” TV show. We concluded that, in the “minor curriculum”, love and laughter are vectors for the disaggregation of the "major curriculum" of serial narratives, capable of cracking the strata and inaugurating minors and creative existences.
