Laboured breathing: Running with and against internationalizing texts of currere

Abstract

Two texts running a chiasmatic course – running with and against lines of separation. Traces of Bergamo 1999 linger in these textured doublings invoked by an invitation to Baton Rouge and a dialogue of international curricular provocations from which IAACS emerged. We query what happens when teachers and learners locate themselves in spaces where languages invoke a re-articulation of their pedagogic lives. Incited by such cadences of ar/rhythmic moments, we write out of a living pedagogy that is always already in-between movements of translation and transformation. Re-running the course – the course of running with and against our work – we have learned to read with Aoki that the same is always already – toujours déjà – the same and not the same. And hence our laboured breathing…running with and against internationalizing texts of currere.
