Abstract

Within the course of the twentieth century and within the context of broader complex social –local and global– issues, curriculum became a open political and ideological battle field, in which dominant and counterdominant groups re-escalate the animosity with sides basically assuming a ‘taking no prisioners commitment’. The purpose of curriculum theory[ists] is to travel, to go beyond the limits, to move, and stay in a kind of permanent exile. A theory of non-places and non-times is, in essence, a theory of all places and all times. The curriculum theorist is a constant migrant , a permanent nomad of his own all multifaceted consciousness who experiences a series of [epistemological] events. Moreover, ICT pushes one to think in the light of the future as well as to question how can ‘we’ actually claim to really know the things that ‘we’ claim to know if ‘we’ are not ready specifically to think the unthinkable, but to go beyond the unthinkable and to struggle with its infinitude.
