Curriculum as Enunciation (original) (raw)

Curriculum Studies in Brazil, 2011

Abstract

The task of producing an autobiographical vision of a field of studies might lead one to compose a chronology involving a supposition of progress, whether linear or not, and an urge to narrate one’s own history and that of the field. In this text, however, I intend to introduce another movement, starting with theoretical questions that I am asking myself today and thereby initiating a dialogue between these and the curriculum field inside which they were being asked. I do not feel that this movement will produce a vision of the field itself that differs entirely from what would be possible in a chronological approach—as this also would carry the mark of my present worries—although I consider that it is capable of better explaining the non-exhaustive nature of any attempt to give meaning to a field of knowledge that is formed through supposedly rational political decisions, albeit also through projections of our many fantasies.
