In this article, I (a) register ambiguities of the ‘global’ and of ‘vision’ to indicate the complex relationship of global citizenship education (GCE) with the contemporary world. After setting this stage for GCE, I (b) argue that the current reduction of GCE normativity to social justice may ultimately work at cross-purposes with its vision of enlarged visibility of injustices around the globe. The hegemony of the social perspective on justice limits the visual horizon of the curious eye/I. Because uncomfortable questions are central to vision as dream and sight I introduce to GCE the theme of a politicized curiosity about various faces of (in)justice. I (c) conclude that, against the single-focused, social-justice perspective, GCE requires a more stereoscopic vision that better illuminates the many faces of justice in their synergies and tensions.
