Abstract

This study aims at provoking the dialog about the relationship between school curriculum, diversity and violence in schools, having a reference in the conceptual issues analized in the texts of Arroyo (2007), McLaren (2008), Silva (2007), Castels (2008), Apple (2008), Candau (2005, 2008), Hall(2006), Moreira (2002, 2003), Ball (2001), Bordieu (1996), besides legal documents that define the current educational policies. The tensions that surround and cross the school context, the power struggles, interests and the diversity contribute to the configuration of the phenomenon of violence in schools. In this context, marked by inequalities and exclusion, the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of curricular policies and practices that make real the dialog towards the tensions and conflicts produced by approaches, monocultural, ethnocentric and hegemonic is seen as fundamental.
