Inspired by the philosopher Jacques Derrida and Finnegans Wake by James Joyce, this article is an attempt to bring perspectives taken from the language critique of poststructuralism into the field of transformative education. This might make a serious and thorough treatment of the wordtransformative possible, trying to prevent ideologies to be more or less blindly reinscribed into the field, presenting a deconstructive attitude and an ability for political inventiveness at the very core of transformative education.
