MEMORIES AND PUBLIC CELEBRATIONS OF EDUCATION IN CONTEMPORARY TIMES

edited by Marta BRUNELLI, Juri MEDA and Luigiaurelio POMANTE

This monographic dossier – which intends to continue the line of research introduced by the international symposium «School Memories. New Trends in Historical Research into Education: Heuristic Perspectives and Methodological Issues» (Seville, from 22nd to 23rd September 2015) – aims to focus on the multifaceted representation of the school as an institution, and of schooling as a mass phenomenon, which was offered in the past, and is still offered today, by the public celebrations promoted on the basis of precise politics of memory. On the other hand, it also intends to explore the socio-cultural dynamics which oversee the commemoration of the figures and the thought of educationalists, as well as of teachers and their educational role.
In this sense, the new perspective with which past schooling is observed, may allow expanding the heuristic prospects of the history of education, safeguarding its historiographical dimension, and overcoming the temptation to resort to alternative interpretive paradigms. The purpose of this dossier is therefore to offer the international scientific community of educational historians a first in-depth reflection concerning this specific new area of research, by defining its general theoretical coordinates and by offering precise methodological criteria for its correct historiographical overview.
