Abstract
For many people the manifestations in recent years of the feminist movement and of the movement called 'gay' have represented nothing more than does any other protest by a group of people who might have reason to feel themselves less than equally treated in political and cultural terms. Others dismissed the intentions of these movements as abhorrent alternatives. The tendency of the public to superficiality notwithstanding, the literature emerging from these movements demands careful consideration. The serious prospect opened up in this paper is that definition by sexuality may be a fundamental underlying criterion for the entire curricular structure of an educational system. Pinar discusses three key writers and draws conclusions that will map his future inquiry into the basis for certain curricular assumptions concerning the relative merits of subjectivity and objectivity. Pinar finds, in the differences between the mother's and the father's biological relationships with a child, both a fundamental symbol and an explanation of the relative status in education of subjectivity and objectivity. This lies in the contest of the sexes over a child's growing identification - a contest that ought to be resolvable in peaceful, collaborative ways. RÉSUMÉ Pour beaucoup de gens, les manifestations depuis quelques années du mouvement féministe et du mouvement "gai" ne sont rien de plus que l'expression du mécontentement d'un groupe de gens qui s'estiment injustement traités sur le plan politique et culturel. D'autres rejettent les desseins de tels mouvements comme s'il s'agj.ssait d'intentions exécrables. La tendance du public à demeurer a un niveau très superficiel en la matière, et ce malgré l'abondance de la littérature émanant de ces mouvements, est quelque peu alarmante. Les perspectives intéressantes qu'ouvre l'article en question résident dans le fait que cette définition selon la sexualité pourrait bien être un critère fondamental pour toute la structure des programmes d'un système d'enseignement. Pinar parle de trois écrivains clés et tire des conclusions qui formeront la base de certaines hypothèses concernant les mérites relatifs de la subjectivité et de l'objectivité. Pinar voit dans les diff érences qui existent entre les rapports biologiques de la mère et du père avec leurs enfant, un symbole fondamental ainsi qu'une explication du statut relatif de la subjectivité et de l'objectivité dans l'enseignement. Cela réside dans la lutte des sexes à propos de l'identité d'un enfant qui grandit, lutte que l'on doit pouvoir apaiser d'un commun accord.
