Imágenes e historia de la educación: construcción, reconstrucción y representación de las prácticas escolares en el aula

Abstract

This article deals with the value of the image, of the visual, for historians of education. First, we present the different arguments that actually are presented about this topic; second, we offer an overview of recent researches, trying to point out their methodological approaches; third, we develop a theoretical proposal for analysing images, especially photographs; and, finally, we discuss some ideas about the study of school ethnography using images.
