Transnational Circulation of Ideas and Proposals in Educational Sciences: The Case of the Helena Antipoff Archives
摘要
This paper discusses the research carried out on the documentary collection of the Helena Antipoff Documentation and Research Center. Founded in 1980, the institution aims to preserve the memory and publicize the work of Russian-Brazilian psychologist and educator Helena Antipoff (1892–1974). The richness and diversity of the collection document significant chapters in the construction and circulation of psychology and educational sciences in the twentieth century, especially in the context of Brazil-Europe relations. This encourages research into the theoretical and practical development of these sciences and documents processes of transnational circulation of ideas and proposals in the fields of psychology and educational sciences. The documents in the collection also enable the identification and analysis of intricate processes of institutionalization and internationalization of educational institutions. The analyses and reflections presented throughout the paper refer to conceptual research, the history of working models in psychology developed in institutions dedicated to education created under the leadership and supervision of Antipoff and the work of training educators in the Antipoffian tradition. In conclusion, these studies contribute to the understanding of the history of psychology and educational sciences, as well as their circulation between different countries, providing information on how the internationalization of educational sciences occurred throughout the twentieth century, with important repercussions on the contemporary organization of theses scientific areas.
