Abstract:
In this paper, I discuss the meanings of education as subjective public right and private good, whose performance is measured by the State. The analysis is focused on the national common core for the curricula, released for public consultation in September 2015. My argument, after bringing out these two meanings, is that they are articulated ‒ creating a normative meaning for curriculum ‒ as they share the antagonism toward the unpredictability of the school daily life. Theoretically, I assume, based on the discursive theory, that the political debate operates to produce order, without being able to erase the social antagonism. From the political point of view, my commitment is to bring out possible directions for curriculum that have been deleted by the articulations in progress.
