Multiculturalism and teaching training in Spanish: the curriculum as resistance

Abstract

From the curricular grades and menus of the licentiate course in Letters / Spanish from four public universities in the state of Rio de Janeiro (University Federal Rural of Rio de Janeiro, University Federal of Rio de Janeiro, University Federal Fluminense and University of Estado of Rio de Janeiro), the present work seeks to contribute to the critical multicultural curriculum in teacher education, observing the meanings produced through the curriculum and reflecting on the discursive constructions and lack of cultural representation in the official curriculum. After the recollection of the corpus, we compared and analysed the different types of multiculturalism found. In our documentary research, we realized that even the theme having grown in recent years, the curriculum still privileges the teaching of certain cultures and the existing cultural diversity continues to be erase.
