Produktbeschreibung
Die Kunsterziehungsbewegungen, die ab dem letzten Dritten des 19. Jahrhunderts im Kontext westlicher bürgerlicher Reformpädagogik entstanden, zielten auf die Befreiung des Kindes – weg vom geometrischen Zeichendrill, hin zum freien Ausdruck. Sie entstanden zugleich am Höhepunkt des europäischen Kolonialismus sowie massiven Widerstands dagegen und sind damit über die Konstruktion des Primitiven eng verstrickt. Was bedeutet diese Kolonialität für die Geschichte der Diskurse und Praktiken an der Schnittstelle von Kunst und Bildung und wie wirkt sie weiter? Mit einem transnationalen Ansatz, der unterbelichtete Austauschbeziehungen und die Wanderung von Konzepten in den Blick nimmt, diskutiert der Band Fallstudien und entwickelt Forschungsperspektiven zur Kolonialität der Kunsterziehungsbewegungen.
The progressive art education movements, surging from the last third of the 19th century on in the context of Western bourgeois progressive education, aimed to liberate the child—away from the drudgery ofgeometric drawing and toward free expression. They emerged at the heydey of European colonialism—as well as massive resistance opposing it—and are deeply intertwined in it, a central articulation being the construction of primitivism. What does this coloniality mean for the history of discourses and practices at the intersection of art and education, and what are its lasting impacts? Taking a transnational approach that focuses on underresearched exchanges and the travelling of concepts, this volume examines case studies and develops research perspectives on the coloniality of progressive art education.
