  In Roundtable Session: The Curriculum and Its Discourse: Language, Difference, and Power

Abstract

A statement implies an emission of singularities that are distributed within the framework of discursive socio-historical formation, in which the processes of subjectivity are engendered, in the midst of "regimes of truth", singular modes that imply the flexion, curvature or folding of a certain type of relation of forces that provokes the difference of thought. The objective of this study is to analyze the discursive practices expressed by the academic-scientific community, manifested in in special issues of Currículo sem Fronteiras journal, organized by the Brazilian Association of Curriculum (ABdC), between 2012 and 2016, on the field of curriculum. The methodological path experienced is the cartography and in this process, the routes and passages created for the mapping of production in the field of the curriculum sought to capture, in 62 articles, the discursive statements that compose the practical political thoughts in the different perspectives to compose the files of these discursiveness. In this cartographic mapping, expansion movements were sought to capture, in the discursive networks, the representativeness of the articles published, the place where their authors speak, the most used references, and how they are expressed in the journal, the epistemological and methodological bases presented, as well as the different thematic axes and the keywords
The theoretical intercessors invited to this cartography are Deleuze, Guattari, Foucault, the authors of the articles and everything that crosses, affects, impels, mobilizes, and shifts the thought from the meetings produced in this composition. The dossiers and the discursive practices indicate that: a) in relation to the distribution of the articles regarding the geographic region of the institution of the national authors, 75% are located in the Southeast (50%) and South (25%) regions; out of a total of 41 institutions, 32 are national and only 9 are foreign institutions, corresponding to 22%; b) the most cited foreign authors are Gilles Deleuze; Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari; Jaques Derrida; Michel Foucault and Stephen Ball; and among the Brazilians, we have: Tomaz Tadeu da Silva; Elizabeth Macedo; Alice Casimiro Lopes; Paulo Freire; c) in relation to the theoretical-epistemological approach presented in the articles, 61% point to Post-Critical Curriculum Theories, followed by Critical Theories (28%); regarding the methodological approach, 25% of articles are essays; 38% are part of documentary / bibliographic research and 31% are from field research. In general, the statements of Currículo sem Fronteiras journal affirm an expressive set of discourse, in which different enunciate modes are articulated, emphasizing, in this composition, forces that produce other meanings for the curriculum field, constituted in multiplicities and singularities, in which enunciation is the curve that joins these singular points. The enunciation-curve integrates, in the language, the intensity of the affections, the differential relations of forces, the singularities, and potentialities in the field of the curriculum and its crossings.
