Casta» y educación en la Europa del siglo XIX. Hacia una historia transnacional de la desigualdad educativa
El artículo analiza el uso de un sistema conceptual no europeo, el sistema de castas de la India y el sur de Asia y sus diferencias esencializadas, como un recurso semántico a través del cual pedagogos, maestros, inspectores y políticos de la educación europeos expresaban ideas de desigualdad intensas y persistentes. Sobre la base de una muestra de manuales pedagógicos y materiales de política educativa de la Europa Occidental y Central, se muest…
The coming of ‘age’
Age-classes are a salient feature of modern schooling. Yet how did age-grouping come to prevail in entire school systems? And how was this form of grouping related to educational and pedagogic discussions at the time of its emergence? The article addresses these issues by looking at the historical context within which age classes came to a dominant position: the European nineteenth century. From the perspective of a governmental theorising of mod…
The beneficial tyranny of politics
This article sketches the emergence, institutionalisation and emergent issues and challenges in the scholarly field of history of education in Latin America. It argues that these processes have been closely linked with nation-building and the decisive role of national politics. The impact of national politics is herein called a ‘beneficial tyranny’. This was certainly true for the first major works written in the late nineteenth century and the m…
Native” and “colonial” objects. Changing constellations of affordances and the erosion of inherited teaching roles in colonial India
This article asks whether the slow process of divesting Indian native schoolteachers of their traditional authority was only about new concepts and representations of education and knowledge. Following the methodological idea of constellations of affordances, emphasising a relational ontology, the article discusses whether changes in the shape and the relations of objects in Indian classrooms together with the arrival of new objects may have play…
The slow dichotomization of elementary classroom roles. 'Grammar of schooling' and the estrangement of classrooms in Western Europe (1830-1900)
Before and during the era when mass elementary schooling took off, children populated classrooms in many roles and not only as learners. The traditional teaching situation was actually full of children in roles as instructors, inspectors, and helpers, among others. In this contribution, the dichotomisation of expected classroom roles, being a central aspect of the grammar of schooling, is in focus. This dichotomisation resulted in one adult and t…

Calligraphic culture in education had a long tradition in the Hispanic World. This entailed the cultivation of specific forms of script to the detriment of others. Since the late eighteenth century, discussions about the shape of letters and the differences between different alphabets were associated with national characters. The letra inglesa (English script) represented a wave of modernization of script and, at the same time, a challenge to the…

Within, between, above, and beyond
Not only in education, but also in other social practices, the history of “internationalisation” is correlative to the history of “nationalisation”. In this broad sense, this article outlines four main constellations of the links between education and nationalisation/internationalisation dynamics. After a brief description of the creation of “nations” within communities in the Church and universities from the Middle Ages onwards, the article focu…
Creating Catholics
Learning and new sociability
The article presents evidence of a shift in the conception of childhood towards communication, social intercourse and interaction as central forces in shaping children’s identities in Spain during the last decades of the eighteenth century. Following a significant shift of meaning regarding the concept of children’s “inclinations”, the contribution demonstrates the major transformations related to this shift and traces back its origins to the acc…

Latin American independence
Latin American independence from Spain and Portugal in the first decades of the nineteenth century was a process of global relevance. A considerable number of new polities emerged that had to deal with radically new political situations. Particularly in the case of the former Spanish colonies, a general rejection of the colonial past determined decisions favouring republican forms of government and the creation of modern citizenry. In this sense,…
Literacy and suffrage
After independence, the new Latin American polities adopted republican systems of government. This crucial decision stressed the importance of vast projects of popular education for the shaping of the virtuous citizenry to come, a clearly different agent from the old colonial society. As a means of creating new citizens and, at the same time, guaranteeing political rights, many Latin American constitutions and electoral laws foresaw restrictions …
Liberal governance and the making of hierarchies
In the Kingdom of Bavaria, the capital city, Munich, created in 1873 positions as Oberlehrer – a head teacher in primary schools (Volksschulen) responsible for one school for boys and one school for girls. The mere existence of these male Oberlehrer challenged for the first time the exclusive power of Catholic and Lutheran clerics in the supervision of elementary schools. The article follows the establishment and transformations of this group of …
Disruptive Dynamics
The monitorial system of education was the most promising device in the field of primary education at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Its astonishing spread across the five continents represents one of the earliest processes of internationalization in the field of elementary schooling, which has rarely been analysed from the point of view of the network of its supporters. This article reconstructs the transfer of knowledge and experience…
The Persistence of Educational Semantics
This contribution deals with the adoption and interpretation of the monitorial system of education in Colombia between 1821 and 1844, a period during which this pedagogical method was almost mandatory for all the country's elementary schools. The analysis focuses on the differences between "local necessities" and "local semantic resources" in the interpretation and adoption of the method. The author shows that whereas its implementation in Colomb…
Pluralizing Meanings
This contribution deals with the adoption of the Lancasterian Monitorial System of Education in the State of Minas Gerais (Brazil) during the nineteenth century. The authors analyse the adoption of this device in the normalization of educational practices in schools and in the consolidation of the school system in the region. The structure and culture of a society, which still heavily relied on the work of slaves, framed the appropriation of this…
