The monographic part, instead, will examine the role of feelings and emotions in the history of education, as well as the transformation of real educational practices and pedagogical arrangements which took place from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth centuries. These studies are focused on the analysis of private life, understood as a labyrinth of affective and educational relationships and, at the same time, as a privileged place for transmitting rules and identities.

Programme
The course consists of a basic course and a monographic part. The basic course aims at examining the evolution of the history of ideas on education by analyzing the thinking of some of the most important authors who have dealt with the theme of education in the Western thought history. Part of the program will be dedicated to the early childhood and to implementation in educational contexts for childhood.The reading of a 'classic' of pedagogical thought will also be the object of analysis: "School and Society" by John Dewey, published in 1899, is devoted to the pedagogical renewal of the activist thought, which was widely spread throughout the Twentieth century.The monographic part, instead, will examine the role of feelings and emotions in the history of education, as well as the transformation of real educational practices and pedagogical arrangements which took place from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth centuries. These studies are focused on the analysis of private life, understood as a labyrinth of affective and educational relationships and, at the same time, as a privileged place for transmitting rules and identities.
