This article aims to contribute to the analysis and problematization of a discourse that took shape in international universities (over the last two decades) around terminologies, methodologies and conceptions of academic research and writing in the creative fields of art and design.

More than ever, the space of history of education is defined by its specialised communities as much as by the people who participate in the educational process, including those who have been historically left out of it. It is these people (along with the historian) who build the history of the present time and the archives of public memory. In an i...

This article deals with the heuristic potentials of the documentary film Children’s Parks in the historical and visual treatment of educational subjects and objects. We will choose specific moments in the film in order to discuss theoretical and methodological questions implied in the relationship between images and words, aiming to understand how...

The role of World Exhibitions in the 19th and early 20th centuries was to confirm a relation between the nation state and modernity. As a display about industries, inventions and identities, the Exhibition, in a sense, put entire nations into an elevated, viewable space. It is a significant element in modernity as comparisons can be made, progress...

Em 1893, vários alunos da Casa Pia de Lisboa iniciaram a produção de uma série de jornais escolares (manuscritos e ilustrados). Inseridos no contexto de formação das primeiras associações de alunos, estes jornais coincidiram, historicamente, com a emergência de um conjunto de práticas e discursos psicopedagógicos centrados em métodos de ensino artí...
