Abstract

In the Series: Advances in Cultural Psychology Memory construction and national identity are key issues in our societies, as well as it is patriotism. How can we nowadays believe and give sense to traditional narrations that explain the origins of nations and communities? How do these narrations function in a process of globalization? How should we remember the recent past? In the construction of collective memory, no doubt history taught at school plays a fundamental role, as childhood and adolescence are periods in which the identity seeds flourish vigorously. This book analyses how history is far more than pure historical contents given in a subject matter; it studies the situation of school history in different countries such as the former URSS, United States, Germany, Japan, Spain and Mexico, making sensible comparisons and achieving global conclusions. The empirical part is based on students interviews about school patriotic rituals, very close to the teaching of history, specifically carried out in Argentina but very similar to these rituals in other countries

Abstract

"This collection explores and articulates the landscape of history education research and practice in Canada. It does this to help define and refine the research agenda in history teaching and practice, which at the present time take place against a backdrop of public concern about Canadians' abysmal knowledge of their own history and a perceived need for more, and then even more, Canadian history in schools. It is crucial that scholarly research be pursued thoughtfully and in a cohesive manner and that classroom practice be informed by the finding of this research."--Intro.

Abstract

"Ce que personne ne sait et qui ne laisse pas de trace n'existe pas" expliquait Italo Svevo. Si chez certains le temps suffit pour qu'un événement tombe dans l'oubli et qu'on vienne à penser qu'il n'a jamais existé. Pour d'autres, au contraire, le souvenir est resté vivace, entretenu par un groupe ou une communauté d'individus, souvent organisés en associations, et prêts à tout pour faire connaître et reconnaître un massacre, un attentat, un génocide, une catastrophe naturelle... Confrontés les uns aux autres, ces souvenirs suscitent parfois une compétition malheureuse, parfois volontaire, souvent inconsciente, qui s'alimente d'un univers sur-médiatisé où les images récentes et plus anciennes se multiplient et se télescopent. La concurrence des mémoires défie les imaginaires nationaux et remet en question le droit des États à dicter ce qui leur semble bon pour la Nation. Souvent considérée comme un effet secondaire lié à des problèmes plus fondamentaux, la concurrence mémorielle est en réalité un enjeu structurant et déterminant pour la cohésion sociale de nos sociétés.

Abstract

The Invention of Science: Why History of Science Matters for the Classroom introduces readers to some of the developments that were key for the emergence of Eurocentric science, the discipline we call science. Using history this book explores how human groups and individuals were key to the invention of the discipline of we call science. All human groups have a need and desire to produce systematic knowledge that supports their ongoing survival as a community. This book examines how history can help us to understand emergence of Eurocentric science from local forms of systematic knowledge. Each chapter explores elements that were central to the invention of science including beliefs of what was real and true, forms of reasoning to be valued, and how the right knowledge should be constructed and the role of language. But most importantly this book presented these ideas in an accessible way with activities and questions to help readers grapple with the ideas being presented. Enjoy!
