Studying as Privilege

This chapter addresses the assumption that studying, beyond the constraints of a specific curriculum or institutional affiliation, is a practice good in itself, by discussing and problematizing actual practices of study in the past and focusing on some of their consequences that extend to the present. From an educational point of view, during these trips, the sons of the Latin American oligarchies lived undetermined by the teleological tyranny of learning; however, other forms of governmentality mediated these young men's practices of study, which in turn reproduced hegemonic class, gender, and cultural articulations. One of the most relevant actors in the construction of the Latin American archive was the German painter Johann Moritz Rugendas, whose mission in Latin America was the product of a complex intersection between science and art. The figure of the flaneur has acquired relevance within educational studies precisely because of its apparent counter-discursive position in relation to standardization and learnification
