FROM DISENCHANTED MODERNITY TO POSSIBLE REENCHANTMENTS

everyday curriculum creations and their enchantments

Abstract

Thinking about the re-enchantment of the world and the relevance of everyday curricular creations in this process requires resorting to the phenomenon and process of disenchantment of the world in order to be able to weave a reflection that addresses different aspects of the debate, inserting them into the curricular debate. Therefore, this article resorts to Weber's thinking about the disenchantment produced in and by modern rationality and its dialogue with some of the formulations of possibilities of reenchantment. Through extensive bibliographical research, the different contributions to the reflection on this subject are covered, from Morin and Prigogine with their understanding of the re-enchantment by the renewal of science, to Krenak and Gudynas, who advocate a new relationship with nature, and to Maffesoli and his understanding of the renewal of sociabilities and the use of technologies as ongoing re-enchantments. It is important to emphasize the contribution of Boaventura de Sousa Santos, for the relationship he establishes between the re-enchantment of the world and everyday life – fundamental for thinking about curricular creations – and for his broader approach, which dialogues with all those already mentioned, and with the field of the curriculum. In its final part, based on the different contributions listed, the text briefly examines some curricular creations narrated in academic works in the field of research with everyday schools life, in which contributions to reflection on the theme can be found, as well as relevant initiatives of possible contribution of schools for the re-enchantment of the world.
