REGULATED BODY: SOCIO-EMOTIONAL SKILLS AND SEXUALITIES (IN)VISIBLE IN THE COMMON NATIONAL CURRICULUM BASE

Abstract

This essay discusses the Common National Curriculum Base as a device that aproximattes education and market, evidenced by the exaltation of the notion of socio-emotional skills, and it regulates the difference, demonstrated in the deletion of gender and sexual orientation themes in its text. We transversalize school psychology from a critical perspective and decolonial studies as epistemologies that converge to the (re)construction of education as a human right. We design the Base as coalition of conservative forces (market and moral) that engender a mechanism that represents and synthesizes an educational policy in which the interweaving between socio-emotional skills and sexual and gender diversity is expressed, so that in the game of talk/silence, show/erase, the possibilities of existence are captured by sexist, machist, heterocentric, racist, capacitist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic logics. Psychology in interface with education is challenged to deal with the disputes and contradictions existing in the context of the current neoliberal and ultra-reactionary advances on the school and resistance movements and the creation of more plural modes of existence, egalitarian and just, in the task of forming democratic subjects and contributing to the democratization of scientific knowledge, making it a power for marginalized populations.
