Summary/Abstract: The aim of this qualitative study is to present the academic and migratory experiences of four transnational high school students in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico and to align such findings with a view of transnationalism that takes into consideration deterritorialized knowledge acquired through migratory experiences. From these experiences, all transnationals acquire – to different degrees – transnational funds of knowledge and a different type of imagination which allows them to envision themselves as members of other communities. To understand the transnational experience, one must consider research into the phenomenon and into the biographies of such students as seen in the discussion of the data.
