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.

Is historical knowledge important for education? How can we build a shared historical knowledge with schools, communities, and education professionals? The book responds to these questions by suggesting the public history approach, as applied in education and, more generally, to all professions that are based on human relations. The public history of education refers directly to North American experiences, but at the same time it is part of a process of European cultural acceptance and re-elaboration that has one of its main points of reference in the Italian Public History Association. The objective is not to make history for the general public, but to make public history with all those interested, in a collaborative and participative context, in the quest for meaningful knowledge, directly related to the current and challenging needs of our society.
Schooling in Europe is being transformed by a new policy orthodoxy affecting all aspects of the school. Privatization, decentralization, and business focused curriculum reform are all on the rise. The authors consider the impact and conflict of such changes on schooling in England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
This volume brings us closer to the dynamics of the educational world, especially students, from a wide range of national and regional scenarios, with a special focus on Europe and Latin America. In this way, a plural panorama is shown, in which the stories centered on the usual protagonists of the 1968 processes are accompanied by other scenarios, often considered secondary, but which this volume inserts in a more general story that helps us understand how the processes of the 60s were not concrete or national, but got an absolute regional and global significance. We see a complex process of transnational demand that ranged from Eastern Europe, included in the Soviet bloc, to the very heart...
La educación es un proceso complejo, propio solamente de hombres y mujeres, que incide sobre cada individuo y el conjunto de la sociedad, mucho más allá de lo que sucede en la institución escolar. El sistema educativo de cada país es complejo y de diversificadas manifestaciones individuales e institucionales, que conllevan la necesidad de conocer y comprender con la máxima actualidad posible. Lo hacen desde siglo atrás a través de diferentes medios de comunicación, y en concreto mediante la prensa pedagógica, que se centra en los asuntos conectados a la escuela. Pero existen también otras muchas publicaciones periódicas que se detienen en la difusión y comentario de los temas ed...
La prensa pedagógica adopta formatos muy diferentes. Es la que producen los profesores de primaria y secundaria, y los de universidad, pero también es la prensa de los niños en las escuelas primarias, de los adolescentes en los colegios e institutos, y de los estudiantes universitarios en Colegios Mayores o asociaciones estudiantiles. A estos campos tan diferentes, pero complementarios, se van dedicando diferentes estudios, congresos y monografías desde hace ya algunos años, y en concreto desde la iniciativa investigadora y difusora del GIR Helmantica Paideia, de la Universidad de Salamanca. La colección Aquilafuente de Ediciones de la Universidad de Salamanca ha editado varios de esto...
