Check it out, what if it was fiction?

Journal Title: Práxis Educativa - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 3

Abstract

In this paper, my starting point is the trajectory of a Doctoral dissertation in curriculum and queer studies in which I explore the paths of research. In this case it is not so much an exercise of producing empirical elements or data but more of a creative and expansive critique. The question is: what happens if the research is nothing more than fiction? Therefore, I suggest that it is time to risk the foundations of curriculum research in relation to what has not always been dealt with: the resources and artifacts of qualitative investigation being less methodological, and more about a set of ethical-political issues, as in ontological investigation. In this way, I point out how fiction emerges from the performative relation between language and reference, and puts in place a written policy. Thus, the text of curriculum research is seen as a policy of alliance and relationality, showing how otherness can seriously transform political and theoretical concepts and assumptions.
