| Sumario: | The purpose of this text is to present some conceptual and methodological notes that make it possible to redefine the use made of school material culture in research practice in the field of the history of education. The thesis that I want to present here is that it is necessary to “deinstrumentalize” school objects, that is, to stop thinking of them as mere historical sources for understanding the past and recognize them as agency-objects that intervene in the production of the school experience. Thus, approaching the past of the school, from this perspective, supposes making school material culture a research problem, taking school objects not as closed, defined cultural products, clothed in one time-another, but as producers, as points of action that unfold generating new meanings and constituting subjectivities. Understood in this way, school objects make one do, make one think, make one say and make one feel, due to what in research practice in the field of the history of education one does not talk about them, but rather with them, to situate at its center the school history of each subject. This means asking new questions to school objects, (re)constructing their trajectories -a biography of school objects-, recognizing their materials, shapes and textures and establishing the networks of meaning and contradiction in which they are inscribed, in addition to their meanings and the practices and knowledge associated with them. |
