RESUMO

This argumentative-narrative research investigates the multicultural construction in Brazil, especially the diversity proposal contained in the Parâmetros Curiculares Nacionais, in the context of Foreign Language teaching. Language teaching in Brazil is also permeated by a technicist pedagogy, in which the concept of diversity is connected to the multiplicity of cultural experiences, dissociated of the cultural conflict that guarantees tolerance and consensus. The Critical Pedagogy, when proposing a dialectic approach of culture, as a social phenomenon in process, and considering education/curriculum as a form of cultural politics, enables a criticism of the curriculum, of school, and of the Brazilian educational proposals that recognizes such spaces as intercepted. They are intercepted by particular interests, specific macropolitical positions, master narratives identified with a neoliberal discourse, which format our subjectivities and the cultural practices that guide us. This research, in defending a critical multicultural approach, investigates a diversity conception that recognizes the power of difference, which interrogate and challenge the domain structures and power relations that disguise inequality. Especially, this research examines alternative proposals of cultural hibridity in the curriculum, from the perspective of a reflexive, critical and transformative pedagogy.
