Abstract
In order to reconstruct the history of Patagonia from a perspective that puts the school system at school, it is inevitable to focus on the social and educational contribution of the Salesian, Salesian and Hijas de María Auxiliadora Congregations, which began at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. In Patagonia, in fact, the Congregaciones played an important role, showing a mysionary and educational monopoly since 1880, although in some places and at different times there were tensions with state officials under all secular laws sanctioned between 1881 and 1884. In this contribution, we will adopt a territorialist vision developed in the context of the Swiss and Italian geography to analyse Salesian agricultural schools in Patagonia, as a result of the material transformation carried out by the Salesian Congregación – with a focus on the ‘San Miguel’ agricultural school in General – in the context of the training of the state education system and in the context of the enactment and implementation of National Law No 1420 of 1884.
