Resumo:This article discusses the curriculum, defining it conceptually and systematically structuring curricular theories within the framework of a reflection inherent to the Brazilian pedagogical process, in which the curriculum is articulated with culture, economy, politics, and identity. With a post-structuralist character, this theoretical article argues that the curriculum does not emerge from a natural process, but from historically and culturally determined discursive contexts, in which antagonistic forces seek to privilege certain ideologies over others. Aiming to outline the evolution of the concept of curriculum, this article demonstrates the need for a curriculum congruent with the Brazilian multicultural condition, moving away from the ready to use models defended in traditional and critical theories. It is in this context that the curriculum and the school are the meeting place of multiple discourses, cultures, races, and histories with their crossings that place difference in front of the identity mirror, producing decentered cultural identities, consistent with postmodernity, especially for the reality of a multicultural country like Brazil.
