Abstract

We live in an era that normalized absurdism and abnormality. From successive devastating economic and environmental havoc, the world is now before a pandemic with a lethal footprint throughout the planet. The pandemonium became global. This paper situates the current COVID-19 pandemic within the context of an endless multi-plethora of devastating sagas pushing humanity into an unimaginable great regression. In doing so, the paper examines, how such pandemic reflects the very colors of an intentional epistemological blindness that frames Eurocentric reasoning, which crippled the political economy of global capitalism deepening and accelerating a never-ending and non-stop crisis that started in 2008. The paper explores also the social construction of the current pandemic and argues for alternatives ways to think and to do education and curriculum theory alternatively to challenge Modern Western Eurocentric reasoning. In doing so, advances itinerant curriculum theory as a just approach, a just alter-curriculum ‘theory now’, one that respects the world’s pluri-epistemological diversity, and aims to walk way from utopias framed within the borders determined by coloniality towards an anti-decolonial climax, and ‘heretopia’.

摘要

我们生活在一个荒诞和反常正常化的时代。由于连续的毁灭性经济和环境破坏，世界现在正面临一场大流行，在整个地球上都有致命的足迹。混乱变成了全球性的。本文将当前的 COVID-19 大流行置于无休止的多种毁灭性传奇的背景下，将人类推向难以想象的大倒退。在这样做的过程中，本文研究了这种流行病如何反映了构成欧洲中心主义推理的故意认识论盲目的颜色，这削弱了全球资本主义的政治经济深化并加速了一场始于 2008 年的永无止境的危机。该论文还探讨了当前流行病的社会建构，并主张以其他方式思考和开展教育和课程理论，以挑战现代西方以欧洲为中心的推理。在这样做的过程中，将巡回课程理论作为一种公正的方法，一种公正的另类课程“现在理论”，尊重世界多元认识论的多样性，旨在从殖民主义决定的边界内构建的乌托邦走向反- 去殖民主义的高潮和“异端”。
