Municipalities and History of Education

Abstract

The history of education has opened itself to new themes, to scientific domains under construction, to inter and transdisciplinary perspectives, through education (as a field of representation, research and action, vast and polysemic) and by the epistemology. The history of municipalities in education has been constituting a historiographical area where different times and different frameworks of action, ordered by the centrality of the place and normalized by the political, administrative, and educational institutions, have crossed. There is a municipal institutionality. The municipality's sovereignty associated with the developmental perspective, reconciling identity and socio-cultural mobilization, found in education a socio-cultural basis of customs, values and practices, and at school a means of integration and normalization, which configure local authority as a pedagogical municipality. In this text, after a systematization of some historiographic lines, I make a brief reference to the History of Municipalities in Education.
