Summary:

"To present images of childhood and school in Argentina, we have chosen the look provided by our literature. It is not an easy task to make a selection of texts on a topic as universal, as personal as childhood, and especially in that space -- beyond its particular features -- that we have all traveled: the school, one of the privileged territories of memory, and that is why it constitutes an area and a theme that have been long represented in the fiction of all time and all geographies. Reading these texts confirms the value of the choice made: each scene can be read from multiple disciplinary perspectives, opening the way to new interpretations. For this selection, a chronological development has been chosen, that covers a century of our Argentine history, from the Law 1.420 of Common, Free and Compulsory Education. The texts offer a tour of classical authors and others that occupy a less relevant place in the canon. Throughout their stories, it is possible to recreate a narrative where the subjectivity of each writer dialogues with the circumstances of their time, their space, their ideology, their feeling structure."
