Abstract | The school notebooks have been the focus of the specific attention of the educational history of the last two decades, as being particularly significant sources for the reconstruction of school customs and the teaching practices characterising the European and non-European educational systems in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Their richly illustrated covers and different types have left an impression on the imagination of generations of students, becoming in fact much more than a modest support for the teaching activity or a minor element of educational equipment. So they came to play "another" and very different role from the one they originally had in the school equipment. We could even affirm that their different but parallel functions of transmission of contents and educational messages and - especially during the fascist period - of a real ideological and political means of propaganda can be dated back even before, and independently of, their real material use, in classrooms or elsewhere. This article attempts to focus the attention on the image of childhood and youth conveyed by the school notebooks during the Fascist period (1922-1943), highlighting how, precisely through the illustrations that appeared on the covers of school notebooks, Mussolini's regime tried to convey the ideal of the totally fascist child and youth. The research at the basis of this article makes use of the large collection of Fascist school notebooks, about two thousand, kept at the Centro di documentazione e ricerca sulla storia del libro scolastico e della letteratura per l'infanzia of the University of Macerata and at the Istituto Nazionale di Documentazione, Innovazione e Ricerca Educativa. |
