Złorzeczenie, czyli "zwrot ku rzeczom" a historia wychowania

Abstract

The starting point for the considerations taken up in this article is a general interest in the so-called material turn in social science and its consequences for historiography of educational thought. Despite the fact that material turn is not a new concept in (post)humanities, it is nevertheless still worth considering, due to controversies underlying its basics. It should be noticed that material turn evokes the necessity of shifting research interests from human to thing (from subject to object), which in educational context becomes a crucial change of the main field of study. The first part of the article is an attempt to employ a theoretical background posed especially by Ewa Domańska, Martin Heidegger, and Bjørnar Olsen. The final part of the study touches upon a few literary and philosophical contexts in an attempt to widen the historical imagination of educational thought with material turn.
