“…Therefore, this project was plural and heterogeneous (since it brought together researchers from many areas of knowledge) but questioned the context of Brazilian Education and the solutions insistently sought in theories (even nowadays) regarded as hegemonic in the Educational field. The project was established from actions that involved: research line creation -Cultural Studies in Education; foundation of the Nucleus of studies about curriculum, culture and society (NECCSO) in 1996; creation of the discussion list (NECCSOLIST), active to this day; the elaboration, organization, translation, and publication of provocative books, which promoted criticism of curricular and representational/identity policies (Silva, 1995;Costa, 1998;Silva, 1999a;Silva, 1999b;Costa, 2000); problematization of gender and sexuality issues in school (Louro, 1997); analysis of cultural pedagogies and media means (Silva, 1995); problematization of research practices in Education (Costa, 1996); questioning of psychologizing trends in the Educational field (Silva, 1998); children's literature analysis (Silveira, 2002); and science production Veiga-Neto, 2001). Then, between 2002 and2004, the theoretical and political Cultural Studies in Education in Brazil became complex due to the creation of the Graduate Program in Education of the Universidade Luterana do Brasil (ULBRA -a private and confessional institution located in Porto Alegre), with concentration area in Cultural Studies, as well as a research group (the Culture and Education Group), and three similar research lines (Childhood, youth, and educational spaces; Curriculum, science, and technologies; Pedagogies and difference policies).…”
