Resumo: In this paper, the aim is to analyze how power relations currently (re)configure a supposed “ideal” Mathematics textbook, from the perspective of different characters who act in this production, whose actions impel the (re)configuration of this material. Based on Foucauldian theorizations on discourse analysis and knowledge-power relations, semi-structured interviews with authors of Mathematics textbooks, editors, collaborators, designers and teams of the National Textbook Program (known as PNLD) are taken as empirical material. The data show that, after a period of adjustments and improvements, post-evaluation of the PNLD, there is an adaptation of the Mathematics textbooks based on the current discourse, since more challenging proposals are penalized. As the Mathematics textbook becomes a commercially profitable product, potentially more salable works are built by official and marginal knowledge, forged in the multiplicity of power relations and in the reading of discourses that are in the order of the present time.   Keywords: Mathematics textbook. Discourse analysis. Power relations.

Fundamentado en las teorías foucaultianas sobre el análisis del discurso y las relaciones saber-poder, se toma como material empírico entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas con autores de libros didácticos de Matemáticas, editores, colaboradores, diseñadores y equipos del Programa Nacional del Libro Didáctico (PNLD). Los datos apuntan que, después de un período de ajustes y mejoras, post-evaluación del PNLD, se produce una adecuación de los libros didácticos de Matemáticas, en un discurso vigente, una vez que las propuestas más desafiantes son sancionadas. A medida en que el libro de Matemáticas se convierte en un producto comercial lucrativo, obras potencialmente más vendibles son construidas por saberes oficiales y marginales, forjados en la multiplicidad de las relaciones de poder y en la lectura de los discursos que están en el orden del tiempo presente.   Palabras clave: Libro didáctico de Matemáticas. Análisis del discurso. Relaciones de poder.Neste artigo, objetiva-se analisar o modo como relações de poder (re)configuram um suposto “ideal” de livro didático de Matemática na atualidade, a partir da perspectiva dos personagens que atuam nessa produção, cujas ações impulsionam a (re)configuração do material.

Os dados apontam que, após um período de ajustes e melhorias, pós-avaliação do PNLD, ocorre uma adequação dos livros didáticos de Matemática à ordem do discurso vigente, uma vez que propostas mais desafiadoras são punidas. À medida que o livro de Matemática se torna um produto comercial lucrativo, obras potencialmente mais vendáveis são construídas por saberes oficiais e marginais, forjados na multiplicidade das relações de poder e na leitura dos discursos que estão na ordem do tempo presente.   Palavras-chave: Livro didático de Matemática.
