This dissertation renders the searching about articles approved by the National
Association of Post Graduation and Educational Research ANPEd, at the
curriculum work group, from 2000 to 2005. Among 76 articles, written in Portuguese
and easily found in the Institution site, they selected 14 they considered inserted in
the Foucault post structuralist conception. The problem was constructed and
delimitated from the following question : How the discourse and power concepts are
involved through theory and methodology in the Foucault post structuralist texts,
published by ANPEd from 2000 to 2005 ? The objective was getting the answers for
these questions :a) What are the methodology strategies used in analysis that deal
with the concepts above, from the Foucault used conception ? b) What is the
curriculum and research production involved in that theory and method perspective ?
c) What are the possible effects in actual curricula discussions ? The methodology
was generated from Foucault contributions inside his works and discussions. They
are in actual curriculum theories at the National scene. The theory was used as an
exercise about discourse problems and construction, concepts and perspectives that
build the curriculum and research at the actual curricula theories area. Among the
most significant results we can find discussions about the difference of the curriculum
inventivo (creative) feature and the post structuralist research as important
events ; the post curriculum is possible to happen but it does not happen yet. It
does not exist as an effective discourse practice or as an investigation object to
post theories ; the post research, on the other hand, happens as knowledge
in its acontecência (existance) and shows its effects : the construction of a
repeating narrative about some dimensions, functions, and effects of power and
discourse about the analysis of different curricula texts ; the existance of
interditos in curricula discussions as the exclusion/substitution or shyness in the
use of words that can lead to some form of prescription and, the desire for truth and
power as discourse effects of post structuralist researches. Observing Foucault
orientations, these interditos were analised in their discourse production and
positive effects.
