Research Fields of School Historiography in Italy: The Local History
Abstract
This contribution aims to demonstrate the qualitative and quantitative wealth of a field of research of Italian educational historiography carried out over the last thirty years: the local or «territorial» history of education, schools and schooling. Based on the historiographical reconstruction of key local and territorial monographs, attention is placed on the innovative character of this field of research, which has experimented new sources and investigation methods focusing on the central topics and subjects of study considered by foreign and Italian school and education historians since the 1980s. This field of study continues to demonstrate its ability to renew and further advance our knowledge of the genesis and development of school history in legislative, institutional, material and cultural terms, and appears ready to accept the challenge of international historiographical dialogue. Supporting this reasoning, the paper is accompanied by a broad (yet not exhaustive) bibliography, fully coherent with the contents of the work. How to reference this article D’Ascenzo, M. (2016).
