Folds of Past, Present and Future
This volume brings together important theoretical and methodological issues currently being debated in the field of history of education. The contributions shed insightful and critical light on the historiography of education, on issues of de-/colonization, on the historical development of the educational sciences and on the potentiality attached to the use of new and challenging source material.
Untold Stories of the Spanish Civil War
This is the first scholarly volume to offer an insight into the less known stories of women, children, and international volunteers in the Spanish Civil War. Special attention is given to volunteers of different historical experiences, especially Jews, and voices from less researched countries in the context of the Spanish war, such as Palestine and Turkey. Of an interdisciplinary nature, this volume brings together historians and literary scholars from different countries. Their research is based on newly found primary sources in both national and private archives, as well as on post-essentialist methodological insights for women’s history, Jewish history, and studies on belonging.

Particularly in the humanities and social sciences, festschrifts are a popular forum for discussion. The IJBF provides quick and easy general access to these important resources for scholars and students. The festschrifts are located in state and regional libraries and their bibliographic details are recorded. Since 1983, more than 659,000 articles from more than 30,500 festschrifts, published between 1977 and 2011, have been catalogued.
Transnational Perspectives on Curriculum History
This book offers a remarkable range of research that emphasises the need to analyse the shaping of curricula under historical, social and political variables. Teachers’ life stories, the Cold War as a contextual element that framed curricular transformations in the US and Europe, and the study of trends in education policy at transnational level are issues addressed throughout. The book presents new lines of work, offering multidisciplinary perspectives and provides an overview of how to move forwards. The book brings together the work of international specialists on Curriculum History and presents research that offers new perspectives and methodologies from which to approach the study of the History of Education and Educational Policy. It offers new debates which rethink the historical study of the curriculum and offers a strong interdisciplinary approach, with contributions across Education, History and the Social Sciences. This book will be of great interest for academics and researchers in the fields of education and curriculum studies. It will also appeal to educational professionals, teachers and policy makers.
Vivir la historia y enseñarla
Este libro da cuenta de una vida singular e irrepetible: la de la profesora e historiadora Isabel Mainer Baqué (1949-2008). Pertenece por ello al género de la biografía y, más particularmente, al de las biografías corales, que acostumbran a componerse a varias manos, agregando puntos de vista y parcelas de la realidad para terminar por producir un todo más o menos coherente y plausible. Sin embargo, el libro que el lector tiene en sus manos, nadie mejor que él para enjuiciarlo, se aviene mal con las biografías póstumas al uso. En primer lugar, porque una buena porción de sus páginas van firmadas por la propia biografiada, pues contienen una selección de textos que en su mayor parte quedaron inéditos tras su deceso y que ahora se dan a conocer a un público amplio. En segundo lugar, porque todos los firmantes del libro han logrado que sus textos mantengan el imprescindible distanciamiento del personaje y su recuerdo para convertir estas páginas en un cabal retrato colectivo de toda una generación de profesionales de la docencia forjados en los años del tardofranquismo.
La forja de un campo profesional
Se indaga en la sociogénesis de un campo profesional y académico prácticamente recién nacido y, aún hoy, muy precariamente existente: el de la didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales. El texto profundiza en las relaciones de saber-poder instituidas a través de los textos, contextos y agentes que, entre 1900 y 1970, le fueron dotando de vida y significado. Desentrañar la forja sería algo así como buscar el genoma, la matriz práctico-discursiva, de una profesión que depara no pocas sorpresas al historiador genealogista.
Teaching Modernization
In the 1960s and 1970s, the educational systems in Spain and Latin America underwent comprehensive and ambitious reforms that took place amid a "revolution of expectations" arising from decolonization, global student protests, and the antagonism between capitalist and communist models of development. Deploying new archival research and innovative perspectives, the contributions to this volume examine the influence of transnational forces during the cultural Cold War. They shed new light on the roles played by the United States, non-state actors, international organizations and theories of modernization and human capital in educational reform efforts in the developing Hispanic world.
Shaping the History of Education?
In 1961 the Centre for the Study of the History of Education at Ghent University, Belgium published the first issue of the multilingual journal Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education. This book celebrates its fiftieth volume. In fourteen contributions written by different generations of historians of education, it demonstrates that in an era where the history of education at university level is at risk, both the journal and the discipline are pulsing, and alive and kicking. Was the journal a trendsetter or a follower, and which position did it take with respect to the International Standing Conference for the History of Education? These are questions address...
De Cristo rey a la ciudad de los hombres
El tema de la realeza social de Cristo ilustra bastante bien la transformación ocurrida durtante el último siglo en la relación entre iglesia y política. A finales del siglo XIX León XIII atribuyó a la autoridad soberana de Cristo la función de reivindicar el poder de la autoridad eclesiástica en la determinación de las reglas de la vida colectiva. Este planteamiento alcanzó su punto culminante con la encíclica Quas primas publicada por Pio XI en 1925 con vistas a introducir la fiesta de Cristo Rey en el ciclo litúrgico. Pasadas las dos guerras mundiales la cultura católica dio comienzo a una reconsideración del tema que ha desembocado en la enseñanza del papa Francisco: los creyentes son llamados a promover el reino de Cristo en la tierra a través de la “medicina de la misericordia”,
Las lecciones de Tersites
Las lecciones de Tersites. Semblanza de una vida y de una época (1951-2016) es un libro que desvela algunas de las facetas subjetivas menos conocidas en el quehacer intelectual de su autor. En cierto sentido cabe afirmar que este texto se impregna de un fuerte aroma autobiográfico, aunque está escrito sin sometimiento a género literario predefinido ni rinde tributo a la estricta separación entre ficción literaria y narración histórica. La disposición encadenada del contenido, pese a la variedad de temas que se tocan, busca dibujar un hipotético retrato expresivo de su autor, de sus continuidades y de sus cambios. Todo ello sin olvidar el trazo interpretativo acerca de la circunstan...
