This text is analyzing two daily claims that have been produced by Anísio Teixeira in his travels to Europe in 1925 and the United States in 1927. The traveler makes use of writing to record the daily routine on board actions subject, aspects of cities, their reflections on life, to you, ya politics, education, religion Catholic, America, and the goals and purposes their travels. Using these journals as a privileged source of study, I seek to understand how Anísio Teixeira represents in his writing and projects an image of "self" and "other." It is necessary to clarify that I am aware of the difficulties in analyzing and interpreting these sources. According to Eco (2005) a text is an open universe indefinitely, in which the player can discover endless interconnections. Language is unable to grasp a single, pre-existing sense.
