The Journal Transnational Curriculum Inquiry and the Space-Time of Cosmopolitan Hospitality and of Curriculum Field Studies’ Deconstruction

Abstract

The research seeks to analyze how the speech of the Transnational Curriculum Inquiry Journal (TCI) speech, published throughout 2004-2009, expressed the internationalization and transnationalization process of the curriculum field studies. As theoretical support, categories of hospitality and of deconstruction, as formulated by Derrida (2003) are used. The study problematizes, regarding the authorshipsin TCI, whether the welcoming of the foreigner (legally/politically/morally), adjusts only to those that come from countries with crescent influence in the world, as well as if unconditional hospitality was not impaired due to the small participation of Latin American authors as well as those from other African Countries in this debate.
