Brazil and Turkey in the Early Twentieth Century: Intertwined and Parallel Stories of Educational History

  • Chapter
Rethinking the History of Education

Abstract

Historiography is rich in examples of efforts to respond to issues concerning the emergence of similar cultural patterns, in cultures distant in either time or space. Many historians have employed the concept of “network” as alternative to the idea of “infuence,” which implies, at least, unidirectional relations, steady in space and in time, between individuals, groups, and even entire societies; more than that, the idea of influence brought from the most ancient history of ideas is based on the (psychological) assumption that one pole ascends the other. The first pole is adult, developed, and civilized; and the other is infantile, underdeveloped, and primitive.
