Project: From Proto-Modernization to Modernization
of Croatia’s School System (18th-19th centuries)
The project “From Proto-Modernization to Modernization of Croatia’s School System”, one of the research projects of the Croatian Institute of History funded by the Croatian Science Foundation, wishes to encourage closer examination of various aspects of the history of student life. Accordingly, we decided to convene an international conference with the mandate to approach the school system through the students’ perspective. Such a reversal in perspective provides a better understanding of the actual scope of educational reforms in different political, economic and cultural environments, social expectations for educational strategies, or challenges faced by end users of the system.
The organizers of the conference “Being a Student in the Habsburg Monarchy” especially welcome papers that deal with education and the school system from the perspective of students through the prism of two methodological-epistemological turns, i. e. cultural and spatial turn. In particular, we welcome papers on various student practices, as well as cultural and anthropological aspects of education – student standard of living, mobility, learning, school supplies, leisure time; students’ memoirs, diaries, correspondence; symbolic power and school rituals; discipline; students and school space; gender and social separation in schools; the shaping of students’ subjectivity and identity (gender, social, ethnic, etc.); discrimination among students; institutional hierarchy and school ceremonies; as well as students’ emotions, nutrition, illness and hygiene. Geographically, the focus of the conference will be on the history of education in the former lands of the Habsburg Monarchy (Austro-Hungarian Monarchy). The research dealing with social continuity and change, as well as comparing and contrasting the experience of groups and individuals across different regions, is especially encouraged.
