Cartography to research curriculum: An active and experimental exercise on a territory in constant transformation

Abstract

This paper explores the research itineraries in the curriculum using a cartography that implements three lines of creation, namely: 'Walk', 'Compose with sensations' and 'Trigger the laughter'. The argument explored is that these three movements: 'walk', 'compose' and 'laugh' trigger two combats: a combat-against the State machine, in its machinations and operations, which, in the field of curriculum, has prioritized the form and normalization of bodies; and also a combat-between the forces of thinking that, when operating with the ideas-forces of Gilles Deleuze's Philosophy of Difference seeks to make small openings in the 'norms' and 'forms'. Such movements make up the main objective of an ongoing cartography that aims to map the intensity of the encounters unleashed by the performances of a queer artist in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. These encounters are triggers of knowledge that build a nomadic curriculum: the Curriculum of the city with Art, which will be exploited here.
