Discourses and Projects: the text of Geography in the National Curriculum

This article analyzes the text of Geography written in the National Common Curriculum Base (Base Nacional Comum Curricular -BNCC). Based on the perspective of Mariano Narodowski (2001), we observe the lines that guide this proposal of Geography, taking into account its relation to the guidelines of education policies in progress in Brazil. Our analysis considers the context of the policies and the discourses articulated with them. Supported by Ernesto Laclau (2011) and Pierre Bourdieu & Loic Wacquant (2000), we aim to identify the elements that support these discourses, both in policies, in general, and in the specific texts of the Geography proposal, at BNCC. At the outset, we situate the context of policy production and discourses about and in the BNCC. Then, we analyze the Geography text in the document, intending to understand its content and its form as a proposal. Thus, we also consider the conceptual and internal debates in the field, in order to identify the projects of society, teaching and subjects, inscribed in the written text of Geography. We verified that BNCC's Geography dialogues with the same rationales, the same projects and demands that guide current education policies.
