Histories of the past and histories of the future: Pandemics and historians of education
The COVID-19 outbreak at the beginning of the 2020s not only marked a dramatic moment in world health, but also the start of manifold and entangled global crises that seem to define a watershed moment with severe effects on education. Pandemics we know are recurrent events. Faced with COVID-19 some historians have looked to previous pandemics to understand the nature of the disease and its trajectory, and how previous generations have dealt with …
Emerging ecologies and changing relations: A brief manifesto for histories of education after Covid-19
The paper draws upon photography as an active intervention into compromised environments and uses it to discover and develop new perspectives on past and future histories of education after COVID-19. These perspectives become particularly clear when seen against the backdrop of recent discussions on planetary responsibility and shared ecologies. The paper suggests that we shift our research agendas away from anthropocentric world views that have …
Images of industrial life and vocational training: Scouting as a liminal space for educating a workers’ elite in 1920s Luxembourg
This paper looks at a specific set of corporate images, namely photographs of apprentices of the Luxembourg steel conglomerate ARBED, and analyses how young workers are depicted in these images. The paper draws on a collection of 2251 glass-plate negatives (re)presenting ARBED’s industrial cosmos, including its vocational school the Institut Emile Metz. The roughly 160 images of apprentices contained in the collection put on display the apprentic…

Learning how to see and feel: Alfred Lichtwark and his concept of artistic and aesthetic education
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 visual in histories of education: A reappraisal
This introduction to the special issue on Images and Films as Objects to Think With presents a historiographical reflection on how images are being approached in the field of educational history. In recent years, much of the work has been situated at the intersection of visual and material studies; images are considered objects with which humans interact, carrying affects and particular materialities that condition their experience; they are take…
Beyond the collapse of language? Photographs of children in postwar Europe as performances and relational objects
This paper explores photographs of children, taken after 1945 by the Swiss photographer Werner Bischof (1916–1954), as visual objects and social agents. In the summer of 1945, Bischof embarked on his first journey through war-ravaged Western Europe – specifically Germany, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands – to visually capture the lives of men, women, and children who had experienced the destruction, cruelties and trauma of World W…
Seeing, hearing, reading, writing, speaking and things: On silences, senses and emotions during the “ zero hour ” in Germany
This article focuses on senses, emotions and cultural practices such as writing, reading and speaking in West Germany after 1945. The period immediately following the end of the Second World War – the so-called Stunde Null, or “zero hour” – has generally been seen as a time of new beginnings, also with regard to cleansing the German language and breaking the silences of the past. This historical examination of sensory-emotional and material conte…
Erlebnishunger, Erschöpfung und Metaphysik
The philosopher and educationalist Eduard Spranger (1882–1963) is said to be one of the last German mandarins of the Weimar Republic and after World War II. Based on analysis of his correspondence with his most important female friend, this article examines three facets of Spranger’s attitude towards the historical presence of 1913: (1) the banality of life and desire for grandeur; (2) exhaustion and malady; and (3) the longing for adventure and …

Puppets on a string in a theatre of display? Interactions of image, text, material, space and motion in The Family of Man (ca. 1950s–1960s)
In the past few decades, increasing attention has been devoted within various disciplines to aspects previously considered trivial, among which are images, material objects and spaces. While the visual, the material and the spatial are receiving ever more consideration and the myriad issues surrounding them are being tackled, their convergence in educational settings across time and space has thus far remained underexplored. A travelling photo ex…
