CONTEÚDO DA/DE ARTE EM DISSERTAÇÕES E TESES (2010 A 2017): APROXIMAÇÕES ÀS ORIENTAÇÕES/DISCUSSÕES CURRICULARES

Abstract

The study is part of the research program of/in the Observatory of School Culture, which takes as sources and objects of studies curricular documents produced in formal and non-formal education. The dissertations and theses analyzed were written from 2010 to 2017 in Post-Graduate Programs in Education and Arts and aimed to think / discuss / problematize contents from/of Art, particularly Visual Arts, located in curricular documents both nationally and locally. Seven academic productions were identified, namely six dissertations and one thesis that adopted qualitative research procedures. The analyses were guided by the objective of constructing a state of knowledge about the treatment of Art contents, by identifying and analyzing the appropriations from/of the Art designed in dissertations and theses and problematizing the contents from/of art in curricular documents and treated as the powerful awareness of Art. The state of knowledge is here seen as an instrument which brings us closer to the current movements about the object of investigation, offering a comprehensive notion about the level of the academic interest and directing, with more accuracy, to items to be explored – by reinforcing the results or creating new angles for the topic of study – thus opening innumerable opportunities to enrich the investigation. In conclusion, the study points out that what has been researched about the Art and identified as contents depart from the identification that these are powerful by/in the choice, but, in the analyses, they constitute a study/discussion distant from the curriculum.
