Since the late nineteenth century, Switzerland, a self-professed “playground” and “classroom” of the world, has successfully promoted itself as a desirable destination for international study and tourism. The historically entangled private schooling and tourism industries have steadily communicated idealised images of educational tourism in Switzerland via advertising. Concentrating on the period 1890 -1945 – when promotional ties between tourism organisations and private schools solidified – this thesis investigates the social construction of educational tourist place in two different types of promotion aimed at English-speaking markets: private international school prospectuses and education-focused tourism brochures. An analysis of early prospectuses from three long-standing private international schools and of education-focused tourism guides written by municipal organisations, travel agencies, school boards and the Swiss government revealed highly visual, ideologically-charged textual representations of locations and markets simultaneously defined, idealised and commodified international education in Switzerland. Chapters provide close interpretation of documents and aim, through thick description, to understand specific place-making examples within a wider socio-historical context. Chapter One examines the earliest prospectuses of Le Rosey and Brillantmont, two of the world’s must exclusive Swiss schools (1890-1916). An examination of photo-essay style prospectuses reveals highly selective portrayals of “Château” architecture communicated capacity to deliver a “high-class” and gender appropriate Swiss finishing. Visual cues hallmarking literary and sporting preferences indicated texts catered to the gaze of social-climbing, Anglo-centric markets desirous a continental cosmopolitan education that was not overly “foreign.” Chapter Two analyses the social construction of towns in French-speaking Switzerland as attractive educational centres (1890-1914). It explores how guides promoting Geneva, Neuchâtel and Lausanne constructed an idealised study-abroad landscape through thematic testaments to the educative capacities of local human and natural landscapes. The remaining chapters explore interwar texts. Chapter Three examines a high-altitude institute’s use of the idealising skills of high-end tourism poster artists to manufacture a pleasant, school-like image for the mountain sanatoria-like campus of Beau Soleil. Chapter Four investigates two series of education-focused tourism guidebooks which promoted education in Switzerland. An examination of a Swiss National Tourist Office series reveals discourses of nationhood racialised the Swiss as natural-born pedagogues and constructed Switzerland as a safe, moral destination populated by cooperative, multi-lingual and foreign student-friendly folk. An analysis of R. Perrin Travel Agency’s series explores guidebooks which openly classified education as a tourism commodity. The final chapter examines Le Rosey and Brillantmont’s interwar prospectuses within the context of complex, transnational schooling and school advertising practices. An analysis of images of school sports at winter holiday resorts suggests prospectuses expressed the sense of freedom which accompanies upper-class identity more so than any sense of gender-driven restriction.

Denna avhandling handlar om hur samhället presenterades för barn via skolradion och Folkskolans barntidning under 1930-talet. I avhandlingen granskas hur såväl barnen som medierna i sig gjordes till redskap i den ideologiska striden om välfärdsstatens förändring och innebörder under 1900-talet. Studien handlar om innehållet i medierna och de om de aktörer som utformade program och texter. Vilka aktörer ville ha med barn och varför blev barn användbara i striden om skolradions innehåll och utformning? Vad fanns det för likheter och skillnader i sättet att tilltala och beskriva barn i de båda medierna? Ett viktigt resultat i avhandlingen är hur genus och etnicitet relaterades till barn i skapandet av en svensk folkhemsidentitet. / 2000

Em 1686, por iniciativa do jesuíta, foi principiada a fundação do Seminário de Belém no Recôncavo da Capitania da Bahia, dedicado à educação de meninos nas “letras e bons costumes”. Este estudo tem por tema central o que subjaz a estas “obras” – as prescrições quanto às práticas educativas para as infâncias. A partir da prédica do padre sobre a importância da educação, e das recomendações para o “bem criar”, assim como do projeto pedagógico encerrado no Seminário de Belém, buscamos compor capítulos de uma História das Infâncias no mundo luso-brasileiro de fins do século XVII e princípios do século XVIII. / Salvador

Este trabalho pretende realizar uma história cultural ou "arqueologia" dos abrigos espíritas para a infância no Brasil, construídos como verdadeiros"monumentos" da fé espírita, cuja materialização começa a ocorrer na segunda década do século XX, a partir de algumas iniciativas ou instituições que se tornaram pioneiras, tais como o Abrigo Thereza de Jesus, fundado em 1919 na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Inspirados no lema "Fora da caridade não há salvação", um dos pilares do aspecto religioso do Espiritismo, os espíritas entram na milenar história das práticas de proteção à infância apenas na Idade Moderna. A doutrina espírita,procurando estabelecer, desde o seu "nascimento", a aliança entre Ciência e Religião, acaba adquirindo a feição de uma "religião moderna", reinvenção da tradição cristã em tempos de racionalismo e cientificismo. Entretanto, apesar da ênfase doutrinária no exercício da caridade individual e silenciosa como fundamento para a evolução espiritual, o movimento espírita acaba ampliando este sentido inicial presente nas obras de Allan Kardec, publicadas em Paris entre 1857 e 1869, tendo incorporado ou se apropriado de representações e práticas de caridade que foram desenvolvidas histórica e culturalmente dentro da tradição cristã mais antiga. / This text intends to produce a cultural history or "archaeology" of spiritist shelters for children in Brazil, constructed as true "monuments" of the spirit faith, that had started to appear in the second decade of the 20th century, from some pioneering activities or institutions such as the Abrigo Thereza de Jesus, established in 1919 in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Guided by the motto "Outside of the charity there is no salvation", one of the pillars of the religious aspect of the Spiritism, the spiritists became part of millenarian history of the childrens protection only in the Modern Age. The spiritist doctrine, looking for to establish, since its "birth", the alliance between Science and Religion, finishes acquiring the feature of a "modern religion", reinvention of the Christian tradition in times of rationalism and scientific dogmatism. However, although the doctrinal emphasis on exercise of individual charity and silent as basic principle for spiritual evolution, the spiritist movement was not limited to this initial sense contained in papers published by Allan Kardec in Paris between 1857 and 1869, having accomplished the incorporation or appropriation of representations and actions of charity that had been developed historical and culturally inside of the older Christian tradition.

The Young Offender Rural Facility of Anitapolis, from its founding in 1918 until the end of its activities in 1930, presents us with interesting elements to the understanding of the stay of those children, mostly from Rio de Janeiro, at that institution. Understanding the institution in its internal dynamics, its networks of relationships established between its residents or with its educational agents provides us with important instruments to understand the complexity of relationships and behaviors of people commonly investigated only in the production area. The location of the institution and its demands, however, can not be seen leaving aside the area of education and work, since people act simultaneously in both worlds. The world of education and the world of work, as well as the Colonial Center and the Young Offender Rural Facility, are connected by the experiences and everyday practices of the minors and their teachers, seen as social subjects in this perspective. Thus, the life at the Facility is directly linked to the life of the Colonial Center (Anitapolis), making it necessary to observe what are the channels of dialogue, in which the games of power and rights disputes are played. The dissertation was organized into three chapters. In the first chapter, entitled Action and perspective of the State on minors, we present a scenario of the Brazilian government position in relation to public policies regarding children. In the second chapter, called The Young Offender Rural Facility of Anitapolis, we investigated the pedagogical and social-administrative practices present in the institution and imposed by the pedagogy of progress. In the third chapter, entitled Action and perspective of the subjects: the minors and the Rural Facility, we researched the existing relations of sociability between inmates in the Rural Facility as well as with the Colonial Center. Several documents were investigated, such as official letters, messages, reports and information related to the Rural Facility, the Colonial Center of Anitapolis, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Trade, between the years 1918 and 1930. A research was also done in newspapers, reports of the Governors of Santa Catarina and documentary collections on police, minority and legislation over the period. In this thesis we reflected on the inclusion of these young people and their relationships with the institution of education and correction, focusing mainly on the analysis of forms of participation of children and young people in the institution and their interaction with the colonial Center / A história de uma instituição como o Patronato Agrícola de Anitápolis (Santa Catarina, Brasil), antes de se tratar de uma análise restrita aos acontecimentos de uma determinada instituição ou, ao contrário, simples expressão da conjuntura regional e nacional, aparece para o historiador como uma possibilidade de reconstruir histórias de crianças e jovens, suas trajetórias, sua inserção social e educacional e suas resistências às políticas públicas na Primeira República (1889- 1930). O Patronato Agrícola de Anitápolis, desde sua criação em 1918, até o término de suas atividades, em 1930, nos apresenta elementos instigantes para a compreensão da estadia dos menores, vindos em sua maioria do Rio de Janeiro, neste estabelecimento. Compreender a instituição em sua dinâmica interna, suas redes de relacionamentos estabelecidas entre seus moradores ou com seus agentes educacionais fornece-nos instrumentos importantes para entender a complexidade das relações e dos comportamentos de pessoas comumente investigadas apenas no espaço produtivo. O local da instituição e suas demandas, no entanto, não podem ser entendidos desvinculados do espaço do ensino e do trabalho, uma vez que as pessoas atuam, simultaneamente, nestes dois universos. O universo do ensino e o universo do trabalho, assim como o Núcleo Colonial e o Patronato Agrícola, estão conectados pelas experiências e práticas cotidianas dos menores e de seus educadores, vistos nesta perspectiva como sujeitos sociais. Desta forma, a vida do Patronato está diretamente vinculada à vida do Núcleo Colonial (Anitápolis), tornando-se necessário observar quais são os canais de interlocução em que os jogos de poder e as disputas por direitos são travados. A dissertação foi organizada em três capítulos. No primeiro capítulo, intitulado A açãoe a ótica do Estado sobre os menores, apresentamos um cenário das posições do Estado brasileiro em relação às políticas públicas relativas à infância. No segundo capítulo, denominado O Patronato Agrícola de Anitápolis, investigamos as práticas pedagógicas e sócio-administrativas vigentes na instituição e impostas pela pedagogia do progresso. No terceiro capítulo, intitulado A ação e a ótica dos sujeitos: os menores e o Patronato pesquisamos as relações de sociabilidade existentes entre os internos no Patronato Agrícola e destes com o Núcleo Colonial. Trabalhamos com diversos documentos, tais como ofícios, mensagens, relatórios e informativos vinculados ao Patronato Agrícola, ao Núcleo Colonial Anitápolis, e ao Ministério da Agricultura, Indústria e Comércio, entre os anos de 1918 a 1930. As pesquisas também foram feitas em periódicos (jornais), relatórios dos Governadores de Santa Catarina e nos fundos/coleções documentais sobre polícia, menoridade e legislação vigente sobre o período. Nesta pesquisa refletimos sobre a inclusão desses jovens e suas relações com a própria instituição de educação e correção, enfatizando principalmente a análise das formas de participação das crianças e jovens na instituição e em sua interação com o núcleo colonial História da Infância e Juventude.

This thesis examines Karen childhood transitions in a context of expansion of the cash economy, formal education and modern institutions. Since the 1960s, Thai state development has had a significant impact on the organisation of work and learning among highland populations. Today, household economies largely depend on cash income and children aspire towards an adult life in which paid work is central. Formal education is highly valued as a means to reach this goal. Children often migrate for education to better-resourced locations and access scholarships provided by national and international institutions. On the basis of 12 months of ethnographic fieldwork undertaken between October 2007 and September 2009, the thesis seeks to understand the effects of globalisation on politically and economically marginalized children in northern Thailand through the lens of changing modes of production and learning. Findings indicate that children’s migration for education reflects broad political economic inequalities among Karen households as well as between them and mainstream Thai lowland populations. International dimensions of unequal relations are revealed in local peoples’ collective negotiations with Japanese and Catholic Christian NGOs. Although socio-cultural constructs like ‘gender’, ‘generation’, and ‘ethnicity’ shape Karen childhoods, this study found that their economic and political status are more fundamental in shaping all aspects of their social lives, including their socio-cultural identities. Childhood transitions emerge as multidimensional learning processes towards mastery of ‘translocal identities’, the skill to manage identities and relationships across multiple spaces and institutions. This is a culturally valued skill evidenced when minority children tactfully negotiate differing modes of compliance, resistance, and adaptation, especially in the domains of work and education. Thus, children participate in the moulding of local versions of the modern political economy of northern Thailand.

At the onset of the First World War, Germany was subject to a shipping embargo by the Allied forces. Ostensibly military in nature, the blockade prevented not only armaments but also food and fertilizers from entering Germany. The impact of this blockade on civilian populations has been debated ever since. Germans protested that the Allies had wielded hunger as a weapon against women and children with devastating results, a claim that was hotly denied by the Allies. The impact of what the Germans termed the 'Hungerblockade' on childhood nutrition can now be assessed using various anthropometric sources on school children, several of which are newly discovered. Statistical analysis reveals a grim truth: German children suffered severe malnutrition due to the blockade. Social class impacted risk of deprivation, with working-class children suffering the most. Surprisingly, they were the quickest to recover after the war. Their rescue was fuelled by massive food aid organized by the former enemies of Germany, and delivered cooperatively with both government and civil society. Children, and those who cared for them, responded to these acts of service with gratitude and joy. The ability of former belligerents to work together after an exceptionally bitter war to feed impoverished children may hold hope for the future.
