A History of Popular Education
Popular Education is a concept with many meanings. With the rise of national systems of education at the beginning of the nineteenth-century, it was related to the socially inclusive concept of citizenship coined by privileged members with vested interests in the urban society that could only be achieved by educating the common people, or in other words, the uncontrollable masses that had nothing to lose. In the twentieth-century, Popular Education became another word for initiatives taken by religious and socialist groups for educating working-class adults, and women. However, in the course of the twentieth-century, the meaning of the term shifted towards empowerment and the education of th...
Working Women, 1800-2017
This book examines how, over the past 300 years or so, women have adapted their work methods, means of subsistence and daily routine to fulfil their dual role as carers and breadwinners. From the industrial revolution, which ended agrarian-based subsistence and meant an exodus towards the cities for many families, to the digital revolution, which redefined the work environment, working hours and even in some cases biological functions, women have succeeded in meeting the challenge of changing work practices, social expectations and economic and family needs. Although women’s work, both past and present, is a much-researched area, this volume sheds new light on the subject by combining the approach of historians, sociologists, and language and culture specialists, and applying it to different countries. Drawing upon original fieldwork and little-known archives, the book will be of interest not only to an academic audience, but to anyone wanting to know more about gender, family, and labour issues across Europe between the 19th and 21st centuries.
Miradas sobre una obra polifacética
El presente volumen recoge las aportaciones de especialistas de la Historia de la Educación, la Historia de la Sociabilidad et la Historia de la Sexualidad, tres de los campos de estudio de Jean-Louis Guereña. El primer apartado prueba la gran variedad temática que caracteriza el campo de la Historia de la Educación que linda con la Historia de la Sociedad y la Historia de la Cultura. La segunda parte trata del banquete, del mundo de la edición, ciertos modelos de sociabilidad así como de las nociones de justicia cultural y mediaciones interculturales. Se presentan, por fin, ocho trabajos sobre la historia de las sexualidades, las ediciones llamadas "pornográficas" y sobre algunos casos de intolerancia contra los individuos cuyas sexualidades no responden a la heteronormativa dominante.
Profit and Passion
Colonial documents and works of literature from early modern Spain are rife with references to public women, whores, and prostitutes. In Profit and Passion, Nicole von Germeten offers a new history of the women who carried and resisted these labels of ill repute. The elusive, ever-changing terminology for prosecuted women voiced by kings, jurists, magistrates, inquisitors, and bishops, as well as disgruntled husbands and neighbors, foreshadows the increasing regulation, criminalization, and polarizing politics of modern global transactional sex. The author’s analysis concentrates on the words women spoke in depositions and court appearances, and how their language changed over time, pointing to a broader transformation in the history of sexuality, gender, and the ways in which courts and law enforcement processes affected women.

Handbook on International Studies in Education
This Handbook provides windows into worldwide research endeavors, including countries not usually widely known in international education studies. The goal of this compendium is to foster the understanding of research and education from different national and cultural perspectives, and to support the exchange of ideas and people who conduct research and development activities. From these varied individual and collaborative research projects we can infer directions for our own research agenda and for policy development. The resulting chapters represent a respectable cross-section of international research efforts. The total is representative of the variety of research techniques. Additionally...

El alfabeto de las buenas maneras
La voz “urbanidad” que aparece en los manuales objeto del estudio del profesor Jean-Louis Guereña parecía olvidada. Sin embargo desde hace unos años se ha reavivado el interés social por lo que algunos han dado en llamar “la fiebre del protocolo”. Este libro, lejos de la mera nostalgia, intenta una aproximación a lo que se define aquí como el arte, el ritual –o incluso la ciencia– de los buenos modales o de la buena educación y del trato social. La investigación del profesor Guereña revela que la “urbanidad” fue durante mucho tiempo una verdadera herramienta clave en la construcción y en la difusión de una cultura dominante de “distinción social”. Ese mundo “ideal” conformado en torno a un conjunto de rituales sociales que pretendía facilitar también la comunicación las relaciones sociales, era presentado a los niños y niñas de ayer –y también a los adultos– a través de los llamados “manuales de urbanidad”.
