Abstract/Notes: Education faces barriers all over the world, which sometimes makes it difficult to look after children’s rights and their individual development. Hence, society is clamoring for new practices, and different approaches are emerging, Montessori among them. Despite the fact that this approach was developed to attend to the poor strata, nowadays it is basically promoted by elitist sectors, though it can be perfectly applied as an education system for all children, regardless of their socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. This study analyzes the bases of Montessori pedagogy in a school from a low-to-middle-income country (LMIC), Burkina Faso, and another school in a high-income country (HIC), Spain. The study takes into account children, family, school environment and teacher training all of which contribute to children’s development.

Abstract/Notes: This article analyses photography as a tool for reinforcing textual discourses in the written press and supporting the popularisation of certain methods and practices in the illustrated press and magazines. The photographs will not be analysed as educational documents or testimony to educational activities but rather in an effort to explore the attempts to illustrate a message graphically so as to influence public opinion and change society’s perception of schools’ role and the functions of education. The way in which the Maria Montessori method was graphically disseminated in Spanish illustrated magazines between 1911 and 1931 is the focus of this paper.

Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori is an intellectual figure who emerges with her own voice in the history of transnational education in the 20th century. In the case of Spain, her influence has been and continues to be profound. This work proposes a historical study of her early reception in the Spanish context in the three decades that pass from 1906 to 1936. The starting point is a re-contextualization of her educational ideas from the perspective of fields of knowledge beyond pedagogy itself, an aspect not yet addressed by historians of education. The study is part of the current of intellectual history, more specifically in the studies of the circulation, transfer, and reception of ideas. The works of historians such as David Armitage and David Boucher, who have developed analytical contextual approaches for the study of ideas and their reconfiguration in specific geographical spaces and specific time periods, are taken as the main reference. A re-contextualization of the reception process of Montessori's ideas is proposed from three apparently distant fields of pedagogy in the first three decades of the 20th century in Spain: politics, religion and medicine. A transversal and complex reception of Montessori's ideas in Spain is confirmed, covering a wide ideological spectrum. The study also reveals that Montessori's work in fields such as politics and religion were received even before those of the field of pedagogy. / Maria Montessori es una figura intelectual que emerge con voz propia en la historia de la educación transnacional del siglo XX. En el caso de España su influencia ha sido y sigue siendo profunda. Lo que se plantea en este trabajo es un estudio histórico de su temprana recepción en el contexto español en las tres décadas que transcurren de 1906 a 1936. El punto de partida es una re-contextualización de sus ideas educativas desde la óptica de campos de conocimientos diferenciados de la propia pedagogía. Un aspecto aún no abordado por los historiadores de la educación. El estudio se enmarca en la corriente de la historia intelectual, más específicamente en los estudios de circulación, transferencia y recepción de ideas. Se toman como referencia principal los trabajos de historiadores como David Armitage y David Boucher, que han desarrollado enfoques contextuales analíticos para el estudio de las ideas y su reconfiguración en espacios geográficos determinados y periodos temporales específicos. Se plantea una re-contextualización del proceso de recepción de las ideas de Montessori a partir de tres campos aparentemente distantes de la pedagogía en las tres primeras décadas del siglo XX en España como lo eran la política, la religión y la medicina. Se constata una recepción trasversal y compleja de las ideas de Montessori en España que abarca un ancho espectro ideológico. Se detecta también que campos como la política y la religión se adelantaron al campo de la pedagogía en la recepción de la obra de Montessori.

Abstract/Notes: L’occasion de lancer des recherches sur les liens entre le mouvement théosophique et l’éducation en Espagne et l’intérêt que celles-ci pouvaient présenter surgirent à partir de la lecture du Petit Journal d’Adolphe Ferrière dans les Archives de l’institut J.-J. Rousseau de l’université de Genève. En 1930, de passage à Barcelone sur le chemin de son long voyage vers l’Amérique latine, le pédagogue suisse fut reçu par Maria Solà de Sellarés, Attilio Bruschetti et José Forteza. Cependant ces personnages n’apparaissent pas dans les pages de l’historiographie de l’éducation nouvelle et de la rénovation pédagogique en Catalogne au cours du premier tiers du XXe siècle. Après les recherches qui s’imposaient, nous sûmes qu’ils militèrent dans l’hétérodoxe mouvement théosophique et que, suivant les pas de Béatrice Ensor, ils se rapprochèrent de sa pédagogie par le biais de la Fraternité internationale de l’Éducation. La vocation éducative du mouvement théosophique se manifesta dans l’organisation de cours et de conférences, l’édition de livres et de dépliants à caractère doctrinal et didactique, la création d’espaces de sociabilité et, entre autres initiatives, par la fondation d’un certain nombre d’écoles et de centres éducatifs qui tentèrent de rejoindre les mouvements rénovateurs européens, tout en restant fidèles au spiritualisme oriental. Plus tard et malgré les distances que leur imposèrent dissidences et fractures, un autre courant allait apparaître à l’horizon de l’évolution de ce mouvement: l’anthroposophie de Steiner et la pédagogie Waldorf. Cet article se propose d’analyser, dans les contextes européen et international, la fonction sociale, éducative et socialisatrice de la théosophie et des réseaux socioéducatifs théosophiques, hors et dans l’école, en Espagne au cours du premier tiers du XXe siècle. Cette recherche part de l’analyse de sources orales (membres de familles de théosophes et personnes ayant des liens avec le mouvement théosophique) et de sources écrites (directes et indirectes) consultées et étudiées dans diverses archives : Biblioteca de Cataluña (Barcelone), bibliothèque privée de la Branche Arjuna de Barcelone, Centro nacional de la Memoria histórica de Salamanque (Espagne), archives privées de la famille Jover Dalmau (ancien élève de l’école Damon) et Archives historiques municipales de Sabadell (Catalogne). [The opportunity to launch research on the links between the theosophical movement and education in Spain and the interest that these could present arose from the reading of the Petit Journal d'Adolphe Ferrière in the Archives of the institute J.-J. Rousseau from the University of Geneva. In 1930, passing through Barcelona on the way to his long journey to Latin America, the Swiss teacher was received by Maria Solà de Sellarés, Attilio Bruschetti and José Forteza. However, these characters do not appear in the pages of the historiography of new education and educational renewal in Catalonia during the first third of the twentieth century. After the necessary research, we learned that they were active in the heterodox theosophical movement and that, following in the footsteps of Beatrice Ensor, they approached her pedagogy through the International Fraternity of Education. The educational vocation of the theosophical movement was manifested in the organization of courses and conferences, the publication of books and leaflets of a doctrinal and didactic nature, the creation of spaces for sociability and, among other initiatives, by the foundation of a number of schools and educational centers which tried to join the European renovating movements, while remaining faithful to Eastern spiritualism. Later and despite the distances imposed by dissidence and fractures, another current would appear on the horizon of the evolution of this movement: the anthroposophy of Steiner and the Waldorf pedagogy. This article aims to analyze, in European and international contexts, the social, educational and socializing function of theosophy and theosophical socio-educational networks, outside and in school, in Spain during the first third of the twentieth century. This research starts from the analysis of oral sources (members of families of Theosophists and people with links to the Theosophical movement) and written sources (direct and indirect) consulted and studied in various archives: Biblioteca de Cataluña (Barcelona), library private of the Arjuna Branch of Barcelona, ​​Centro nacional de la Memoria histórica de Salamanca (Spain), private archives of the Jover Dalmau family (former pupil of the Damon school) and Municipal Historical Archives of Sabadell (Catalonia).]
