| Sumario: | Photographs are an important way in which histories are made public.Emerged as part of the “mechanical arts” in the 19th century, photography transformed the iconosphere and changed the ways in which the world was experienced. How did the emergence of photography change the way in which schools were perceived, and how has it shaped the imaginaries about schooling? In this chapter I would like to reflect on a series of photographs of school architecture found in Argentinean archives that belong to the period 1880–1920, in which school buildings became an integral part of public policies. The series includes pictures taken by professional photographers, working in ateliers or in state departments. I conceive these photographs as public records or memory artifacts that were intersected by several histories, among them histories of architecture, of photography, and of schooling. They have sought to build an educational iconography and narrative about schools, and they did so through specific stylistic choices and visual rhetorics that need to be interrogated and considered by educational historians. |
