A journal on the lookout for the world? L’Éducateur as relay of transfers and pedagogical mixing in French-speaking Switzerland (1865-1890).

Abstract

This article aims at analyzing the modes of knowledge transfers that take place during the second part of the 19th century in French-speaking Switzerland. It puts L’Éducateur – journal of the French-speaking teachers founded in 1865 – at the heart of the questioning. It comes to deconstruct the phenomena of borrowing, both at a regional and transnational level, and to show resistances and central stakes of knowledge circulation through the powerful network of pedagogical journals.
