Popis: In this article, contributions from post-structuralist and postcolonial perspectives are appropriated to develop the argument that in Mozambique the civilizational project of the European colonizer aiming to moralize indigenous/natives by inculcating European standards of civility, operated discursively in the same game of language of the nationalistic identity project that aimed at the formation of the New Man, free from obscurantism, superstition and bourgeois and colonial mentality by the inculcation of Marxist-Leninist-Socialist civilizational standards. The poststructuralist contributions support the argument that the two projects, although antagonistic to each other, are articulated within the same language game governed by a logic and a grammar that favor practices of exclusion in the school because they do not take into account the plurality and the difference that constitutes the groupings and human relations. In the text, from the conception of culture as a practice of enunciation of meanings, the intention of constructing a single national curriculum that incorporates the cultural diversity of Mozambique is problematized.
