Abstract
This paper discusses the artistic forces of a curriculum by considering the works of Sophie Calle and Georges Perec. By intertwining art and life, both authors lend themselves to a movement of reductions and subtractions through brutal minimalism and crude simplicity. In this sense, amidst Oulipian ideas and Bachelard’s thought, the paper advocates a poetically inventoried curriculum, which suspends definitions, truths, judgments, reference frames, pre-formed attitudes. It is an exercise intended to trigger a conversation about ordinary, trivial, sometimes evident, daily things that seldom draw our attention. Thus, more than anything, the paper aims at thinking about a curriculum that would work in the encounter with differences that were made visible, produced from sensitive impressions that have been singularly repeated in every experience.
