A educopédia e os embaixadores: estrangeiros em cena nas escolas públicas do município do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

This research aims to raise questions about politic, curriculum and technology in public schools in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The objects of this research are an online platform called Educopédia, and the teachers that work in the public schools in the city of Rio de Janeiro who apply for the post of Educopédia Ambassadors. I discuss the platform and the Ambassadors as foreigners in the same proposition of Bhabha (2013) that uses the conception of foreigners to discuss the diasporic individuals and the outbreak of the "new" in cultural translation processes. Thus, in dialogue with Stephen Ball, Homi Bhabha, Jacques Derrida, Arjun Appadurai and Ernesto Laclau, I discuss the movement of Educopédia and the Ambassadors as foreigners in the curriculum process, contributing to the outbreak of the "new" that is not characterized by an unprecedented of meanings, ideas, concepts, but senses that hybridize themselves on a policy context that is marked by the articulation between curriculum and technology as an indicative of quality. I understand this movement that is performing with the participation of the foreigners, as techno-curricular where technology promotes cracks in the curriculum concepts. I defend a curriculum conception understood as a cultural enunciation process, the production of meanings that hybridize themselves according to disputes over meanings in a policy that is cyclical, not vertical, which passes and is translated in all spaces, producing multiple meanings about the possibilities of technology for teaching and learning process
