- ItemPolicies and practices of diversity: reimagining possibilities for new discourses(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2009) Infante, Marta D.; Matus, ClaudiaThe processes of globalization have demanded that emergent countries include issues of diversity into their political, economic and educational agendas. Consequently, educational institutions have started, in order to adscribe to requests made by transnational organizations (UNESCO, the World Bank and OECD), to include diversity as a priority to develop curricular proposals and policies for education. This article critiques how diversity discourses have been produced and circulated through public policies within the Chilean educational context. The design of new special education policies in Chile provides a critical context for the uses of diversity, how it is framed and what are the discourses associated with diverse educational contexts. The discussion is organized around two main questions: what are the main discourses of diversity produced by policies and practices and what do policies on diversity do?.
- ItemUndoing diversity: knowledge and neoliberal discourses in colleges of education(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2011) Matus, Claudia; Infante, MartaIn this article we analyze discourses of 'diversity' in colleges of education in Chile. We contend that the use of discourses of diversity, as reproducing the separation between mainstream subjectivities and those uncontained by the category of normal, is one of the ways universities align themselves with the rules of a democratic society, based on ideas of multicultural understandings and tolerant communities proliferated by inter-governmental institutions such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and others. Our interest is to question the marginalization of cultural politics through the intensification of these discourses. At the same time, we explore the relations between the advancement of neutral discourses of difference and the value-free practices expressed in neoliberal educational agendas. We use discourse analysis to read interviews with future teachers. We understand students' narratives as perpetuating normative ways of thinking and legitimating those knowledges promoted by institutional curricula.
