Abstract

We live in an era that normalized the absurd and the abnormal. From successive economic and environmental chaos, the world is now facing a pandemic with a lethal footprint across the planet. The pandemonium has gone global. This article places the current COVID-19 pandemic in the context of an infinite plethora of devastating sagas pushing humanity into an unimaginable regression. In so doing, the article examines how this pandemic reflects the very colors of an intentional epistemological blindness that frames Eurocentric reasoning, paralyzed the political economy of global capitalism by deepening and accelerating an endless and non-stop crisis that began in 2008. It also explores the social construction of the current pandemic and advocates alternative ways of thinking and doing education and curriculum theory to challenge modern Western Eurocentric reasoning. In doing so, it advances the itinerant curriculum theory as a fair approach, a "now theory" just alter-curriculum, which respects the pluri-epistemological diversity of the world and aims to move from utopias framed within the borders determined by coloniality towards an anti-decolonial climax and "heretopia".
