USES OF AFFECT IN SCHOOL CURRÍCULUM

ABSTRACT:

In this paper, we explore the ways school curriculum uses affection to incite specific behaviors and moralities in students. As the curriculum organizes knowledge through different dimensions, for example in attitudes, is that affection that consolidates the required neutrality to sustain social and cultural orders; particularly when we are referring to the categories race, ethnicity, social class, gender, and sexuality. Thus, the goal is to show how affection is used in the school curriculum to promote neutral ways to produce school subjects. More than providing specific answers, the purpose of this article is to produce a problem on the ways how sophisticated mechanisms to regulate subjects have been set up.

Keywords:
Curriculum as knowledge; Affect; Producing subjects.
