Women, Power Relations, and Education in a Transnational World
The urban and the natural in education reform
The desire to be close to nature and live in tune with it grew as industrialisation, urbanisation and the impact of technology became increasingly ubiquitous at the turn of the twentieth century. Throughout Europe, model schools were established in rural environments. These private reform schools could not solve the problems of public urban schools. Founded on the initiative of teachers and parents, the Schullandheim (rural school hostel) emerged…
Learning how to see and feel
Focusing on Lichtwark’s concept of museology, this article shows what role he envisaged for art in public life at a time when the rise of mass consumption and popular culture created new lifestyles. Lichtwark’s concept of artistic and aesthetic education did not only extend to museums and classrooms but also to dilettantism as a basis for educating taste and developing an appreciation of the arts that would have a positive economic impact. The ar…
The experimental and community schools in Hamburg (1919–1933)
The four experimental and “community”1 schools (Versuchs- und Gemeinschafts-schulen) founded by social activist Hamburg Volksschule teachers in 1919 and 1920, still in the aftermath of the 1918/19
Circulation and internationalisation of pedagogical concepts and practices in the discourse of education
In the context of the international exchange of school reform ideas and concepts, the new schools in Hamburg were recognised as exemplary instances of a revolutionary and forceful reform in the public elementary school systems. Based on studies of transfer and their premise that the transnational transfer of ideas, practices and objects does not occur spontaneously, but requires specific mechanisms of transmission, this contribution explores the …
Éducation professionnelle et genre
L’article traite des rapports entre l’histoire de l’éducation et le genre dans le contexte de l’émergence d’une formation professionnelle moderne en Allemagne selon une problématique ségrégative. Il esquisse d’abord les débats relatifs à la question de l’accès des femmes à la formation professionnelle et au travail à partir de 1865. La seconde partie de l’article est centrée sur la création et l’institutionnalisation des premières écoles professi…
Poverty, education and gender
In the second half of the eighteenth century, an enlightened reformist spirit spread among Hamburg's bourgeois upper classes. This was exemplified by the activities of the Gesellschaft zur Beförderung der Künste und nützlichen Gewerbe (‘Society for the Promotion of the Arts and Useful Trades’) founded in 1765 as well as by a poor law policy guided by Enlightenment ideas. One cornerstone of the city's reform of its pauperism policy was the foundat…
Female education and the cultural transfer of pedagogical knowledge in the eighteenth century
In the eighteenth century, the German pedagogical discourse took place within the broader framework of an international circulation of pedagogical concepts and ideas. The trans-cultural nature of these intellectual exchanges is particularly evident in the thoughts and writings on female education. Translations of books and essays played a significant role in this transfer of pedagogical knowledge. The article focuses on the manner in which educat…
Lessons from the history of education for a “century of the child at risk”
This introductory article provides the conceptual framework to integrate the following international contributions and their various historical, regional, institutional and cultural contexts. It does so by focusing mainly on three aspects: (1) Childhood and youth as social constructs, the varying classifications of these life phases, their concomitant ambivalences, tensions and social expectations, and the potential for conflict and risk these cr…
Vernunft und Menschlichkeit. Studien zur philanthropischen Erziehungsbewegung
Educating the Citizen
During the decades following the year 1800, a number of complex transitions were set into motion in Prussia. This industrially and politically backward country governed by a late absolutist regime was transformed into a modern bourgeois society. The Stein and Hardenberg reforms of the years 1807–1815 aimed at fundamental changes in the state administration, the military, the church, the schools and other segments of society. As part of these refo…
Friedrich Eberhard von Rochow's Education of_the Children in Rural Communities and its Impact on Urban Educational Reforms in the Eighteenth Century
Friedrich Eberhard von Rochow (1734-1805) - squire, educational reformer, writer of textbooks and agricultural innovator - tried in the true spirit of Enlightenment to impart the concept of reason to the people, especially countryfolk. In Rochow's view, the rural population's situation had to be improved materially as well as intellectually in order to alleviate the misery of wide sections of the population and thus to achieve an improvement of p…
La formation des institutrices à Hambourg
Même si, au cours des siècles antérieurs, l’éducation et l’enseignement avaient déjà été investis par les femmes, ils ne se développèrent cependant fortement en tant que secteur d’activité professionnelle féminin que durant la première moitié du XIXe siècle avec la multiplication des écoles pour les filles de la bourgeoisie. Mais cette évolution se heurta à la totale carence de la formation pour ces métiers féminins dans les divers Etats allemand…
Bildungsentwürfe und die Konstruktion der Geschlechterverhältnisse zu Beginn der Moderne
Im neueren bildungs- und erziehungstheoretischen Diskurs wird das Entstehen pädagogischer Konzeptionen und Bildungsprogramme in enger Verbindung mit Prozessen gesellschaftlicher Transformation diskutiert. Die theoretischen Bildungsentwürfe werden dabei als Reaktionen oder Antworten auf die Entwicklung moderner Gesellschaften und deren Modernisierungspotentiale begriffen. Mit dem Begriff „Moderne“ lassen sich in Anlehnung an H. Peukert (1992, 114f…
Social Change and Educational Reform Illustrated by the Development of the School of Industry in Hamburg, 1788–1811
“Schools of Industry”, their meaning and function in the history of German education, have been discussed from different positions. The discusdon mutually concludes that the category “gender” was kept completely out of the picture. When “gender” is included as a structural category in the frame of research, it leads to new perspectives regarding the development of these institutions. Using the “School of Industry” in Hamburg as an example, it can…
