This article has its origin in the debates that anticipated and that happened during the IVth Meeting of Organizational Studies. This event was organized based in a call for papers with the issue: appropriating theory and practice - delocating the center. Despite the apparent consensus around this issue, the events revealed an important diversity of understandings. In order to advance in the debate we need some categories of understanding that allow the critical reflection on our academic making, that help us to have a vocabulary for the debate and that allow us to think about our practice. In that sense, after establishing the relation between texts and authors from a Derridean inspired deconstructionism, I present some categories that can support our reflection modernity and trans-modernity; coloniality of knowledge and of the being, knowledge and geopolitics; border thinking. After that I develop some ideas on the meaning and the possibilities of the academic making in times of globalization, considering always the phenomenon of coloniality and insisting in the possibility of confronting it. At the end of the text there is the transcription of the presentation I made at the closing session of the IVth Meeting on Organization Studies.
