El eslogan «Volver a pensar la educación» quiere ser la expresión de una necesidad imperiosa para todas aquellas personas relacionadas de distinta forma con las ideas y prácticas educativas que se sienten inseguras desde un punto de vista intelectual, ético y práctico en un mundo cambiante. Personas que no pueden disponer de referentes claros acerca de las formas de desarrollo científico y cultural de los pueblos, de modelos sociales con los que sentirse comprometidas y al servicio de los cuales poner un proyecto educativo coherente. La perplejidad y la incertidumbre son el resultado de apreciar un mundo que muestra cada vez con más crudeza ciertos rasgos de irracionalidad, de desig...

In this stimulating and highly original study of the writing of American history, twenty-four scholars from eleven European countries explore the impact of writing history from abroad. Six distinguished scholars from around the world add their commentaries. Arguing that historical writing is conditioned, crucially, by the place from which it is written, this volume identifies the formative impact of a wide variety of institutional and cultural factors that are commonly overlooked. Examining how American history is written from Europe, the contributors shed light on how history is written in the United States and, indeed, on the way history is written anywhere. The innovative perspectives included in Historians across Borders are designed to reinvigorate American historiography as the rise of global and transnational history is creating a critical need to understand the impact of place on the writing and teaching of history. This book is designed for students in historiography, global and transnational history, and related courses in the United States and abroad, for US historians, and for anyone interested in how historians work.

Literature, film, music, and photography are analysed here in order to explore the diverse means by which community is imagined and const...
