Religion, clericalism, and schools. The struggle for hegemony in education: legislation, curriculum, and school practices. Córdoba (1880–1930)

In this research, we work with multiple chronologies that overlap in time and interact in a manner that is not always synchronous with political, legislative, regulatory, curricular, and practical aspects, as will be discussed later. In this sense, the period indicated is also approximate, given that the levels of analysis need to be studied from different temporalities.
This work is set in Córdoba. Its importance in national politics, especially during those years, is decisive. Focusing the study on this province does not imply the objective of a regional study that seeks the exceptional in the local case. On the contrary, we hope that it will enrich a more complex view of the national education system, its constitution, its formation, and its relationship with a faction of the Catholic Church that fought to preserve its influence in education in the face of the advance of the centrality of the state and secularist policies. We maintain that Córdoba was key in this heterogeneous and unstable process.
