In this essay I bring to reflection some questions concerning the literature as a teaching education territory. The literature saw not just as a technique, but also as a territory of production of knowledge (BARCELOS, 2001). The literature saw as a between-place (BHABHA, 2003) of symbolical and intercultural exchanges. How the relations between the literature and the education in general, and in private, as teaching education are established? How can the literature contribute to the construction of the knowledge in education in general and, in private, to the teaching education taking in account the production of the professor being? It is to designate this role of the literature that we refer to it as something similar to what Bhabha denominates of a between-place of happening(s). In the case of the education professional, it would be a between-place of teaching education. We defend in this text that this plot that is created around the reader/text/office/ society is more a between-place of teaching education. And this between-place may need to be visited by plenty. In other way, to those that already visited or are visiting it, it is necessary to recall what the Mexican poet and essayist Ocatvio Paz teaches, to whom, the books are as cities made of letters, and, as well as the cities are changed by every visit, so are the books changed by every reading.

Palabras clave : Literature and Interculture; Between-Place; Teaching Education Territory.
