George Sansom once called the history of education in late nine-teenth-century Japan ‘a useful example of a reaction against foreign influence and a return to tradition in the midst of a strenuous process of “modernization”.’ Sansom and others have depicted Japanese education during the first three decades of the Meiji period (1868–1912) as follows: during the 1870s Japanese education was completely dominated by the Western philosophies and principles which were flooding a country newly opened to foreign intercourse after two and one-half centuries of isolation. This extreme Westernization led to a ‘conservative reaction’ in government and education circles during the 1880s. This, in turn, culminated in the Imperial Rescript on Education of 1890 and the emphasis on ‘traditional’ moral education which was the hallmark of schooling in the 1890S. This shift in educational policy on the part of the Meiji government has been seen as ‘part of the general swing during the 1880s away from unnecessarily close imitation of the West and back towards more traditional values.’

Neste artigo propomos uma análise da história e historiografia da educação da atual mesorregião Sudoeste do estado do Paraná. O objetivo é contribuir com o debate acerca da história da educação regional, considerando os principais acontecimentos históricos que afetaram a constituição dessa região em meados do século XX, marcada pela disputa pela terra. A ocupação se intensificou a partir da década de 1930, no contexto de “Marcha para Oeste”, através da migração de colonos sulistas e administração de companhias colonizadoras. Neste contexto, formas de escolarização foram sendo organizadas pelos colonos e companhias. Para compreender tal processo, tomamos como embasamento teórico-metodológico o materialismo histórico-dialético e utilizamos como fontes de pesquisa os livros, monografias, dissertações, teses e artigos produzidos sobre a temática. Analisamos as produções existentes sobre a escolarização institucionalizada na região entre as décadas de 1930 e 1970, através da seguinte classificação: “instrução sem instituição”, “casa escolar”, “casa escolar pública” e “grupo escolar” (EMER, 1990). Também desenvolvemos um breve levantamento historiográfico de pesquisas existentes sobre as primeiras iniciativas educacionais no Sudoeste do Paraná, desenvolvidas no recorte histórico entre 1940 a 1990. Podemos concluir que a produção sobre a escolarização institucionalizada nestas regiões no período delimitado é escassa, o que configura um grande desafio para pesquisadores e grupos de pesquisa da região em mapear as fontes ainda disponíveis e resgatar as singularidades da história da educação na mesorregião Sudoeste do Paraná.* * *In this article, we propose an analysis of history and historiography of education in the mesoregion southwest of the state of Parana. The objective is to contribute to the debate about the history of regional education, considering the main historical events that affected the constitution of this region during 20th century, marked by the land dispute. The occupation intensified from the 1930s onwards, in the context of the “March to the West”, through the migration of southern settlers and the administration of colonizing companies. In this context, forms of schooling were being organized by settlers and companies. In order to comprehend this process, we assume as a theoretical-methodological basis historical-dialectical materialism and use as search source books, monographs, dissertations, thesis and articles produced about this thematic. We analyzed the existing productions about institutionalized schooling in the region between the decades of 1930 and 1970, through the following classification: “instruction without institution”, “school house”, “public school house” and “school group” (EMER, 1990). We also developed a brief historiographical survey of the existing researches about the first educational initiatives in the Southwest of Paraná, developed in the historical cut from 1940 to 1990. We can conclude that the production about the institutionalized schooling in this regions during the delimited period is scarce, which configures a great challenge to researchers and research groups in the region to map the sources that are still available and rescue the singularities of the education history in the mesoregion Southwest of Paraná.

A note dealing with the history of the Hawkins Papers, including the material relating to John Hawkins (1761–1841) presented to the West Sussex Record Office in the 1960s, recently transferred to the Cornwall County Record Office, Truro, in order to be consolidated with the major part of the Hawkins archive held there. Reference lists to the correspondence of Sibthorp-Hawkins, Hawkins-Sibthorp, and Hawkins to his mother mentioned in The Flora Graeca story (Lack, 1999) are provided.

I begin my exploration of ‘Ali Mubarak (1823/4–1893) and the discourses on modernization ‘performed’ in his only attempt at fiction, ‘Alam al-Din (The Sign of Religion, 1882), with a quote from Guy Davenport because it elegantly sums up a key theoretical principle underpinning any discussion of cultural transformation and, more particularly, of modernization. Locating ‘Ali Mubarak and his only fictional work at the juncture of the transformation from the ‘traditional’ to the ‘modern’ in the recent history of Arab culture and of Arabic narrative, I find Davenport's pronouncement tantalizingly appropriate. He not only places the stakes of history and geography in one another, but simultaneously opens up the imagination to the combined forces of time and space that stand behind these two distinct yet related disciplines.
