Descripción
Sumario:Based in the presentation of two fictitious scenarios — The Wizard of Oz and the Allegory of the Cave —, the aim is to argue that Mathematics curriculum, curriculum, Mathematics Education, Education, Pedagogy, among other fields of research are strongly inspired by the metaphor of the desire for lack, in the case of the “Wizard of Oz”, and the ideals of the "Allegory of the Cave", holding us to what is desirable, always pointing to a future that never comes. With this in mind, maybe we could think about the possibility of acting molecularly, in our classrooms, in our research, in our speeches and in our texts so that we cannot seek the desirable ideal of student, teacher, math class, school, curriculum; but that we do what is possible to do, from a political position that gives us clarity that it is possible to build another ethics of existence.
