MACEDO, Elizabeth. Curriculum as the space-time of cultural frontier. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2006, vol.11, n.32, pp.285-296. ISSN 1413-2478.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782006000200007.

The author defends the position that the curriculum should be thought of as the space-time frontier between cultures. In so doing, the text proposes to guarantee the centrality of the category culture over knowledge, which is important to critical pedagogy and fundamental to the discussions within this field. Post-colonial theories as proposed by H. Bhabha, S. Hall and B. S. Santos are the theoretical contributions that sustain the argumentation. The text argues that to think about curriculum as a cultural in-between where we can find contributions from Illuminist theory and the market, as well as alternatives created in the ambivalence of these global discourses, can rearticulate the political dimension of curriculum in contemporary society.

Palavras-chave : curriculum; post-colonialism; culture.
