O currículo constitui hoje alvo privilegiado da atenção de autoridades, políticos, professores e especialistas. Sua centralidade no panorama educacional pode ser atestada pelas constantes reformulações dos currículos dos diversos graus de ensino, bem como pelo incremento da produção teórica na área. Pode-se mesmo afirmar que o campo do currículo no Brasil vem adquirindo cada vez mais consistência e visibilidade. Além dos princípios do neomarxismo e da Escola de Frankfurt, os atuais estudos dos curriculistas brasileiros refletem também a incorporação de elementos e categorias do pensamento pós-moderno, dos estudos culturais e dos que discutem questões de gênero e raça. É no cenário de valorização do tema que essa coletânea se insere, buscando sobretudo favorecer as práticas democráticas tanto nos sistemas de ensino como nas escolas e universidades. - Papirus Editora
Lector voraz y escritor prolijo y prolífico, Alfredo Veiga-Neto es el gran divulgador, para el campo de la educación, del pensamiento de Foucault en América Latina, pues, sin lugar a dudas, no hay otro intelectual en nuestro continente que haya dedicado parte significativa de su vida profesional a interpretar y difundir el pensamiento del filósofo francés. La labor de divulgación del pensamiento de un autor es una actividad que enriquece y dinamiza una comunidad académica. La lectura e interpretación de Foucault que ha realizado Alfredo Veiga no solo dio origen a un nuevo campo de trabajo académico en Brasil, los “estudios foucaultianos en educación”, sino que, además, contribuyó a su consolidación y a su extensión a otros países del continente.
This book is an exposition of how political, cultural, historical, and economic structures and processes shape the nature and character of curriculum landscapes globally. By developing theoretical connections and providing contextual background, Kumar explores how colonialism and imperialism, state-led ideological control, and the wave of neoliberalism and capitalism insidiously impact the process of curriculum development in different parts of the world. Kumar also underscores how intellectual movements such as Marxism and postmodernism have shaped curriculum theory in varied political and economic settings. By emphasizing the connections between and among diverse cultural and political conceptualizations of curriculum, this volume contributes to the internationalization of curriculum studies discourses.

In Environmental Education: Identity, Politics and Citizenship the editors endeavor to present views of environmental educators that focus on issues of identity and subjectivity, and how 'narrated lives’ relate to questions of learning, education, politics, justice, and citizenship. What is distinctive about this collection is that it highlights the views of Latin American scholars alongside those of scholars from Spain, Canada, New Zealand, Taiwan, South Africa, Australia, and U. S. The result is a philosophically nuanced reading of the complexities of environmental education that begins to reshape the landscape in terms of ethics, ontology, epistemology, and politics.
