  • Recent educational policies have tended to reduce and even eliminate theoretical debates from the field. This has some implications in the teaching of history since it appears emptied from its contingent character and constructing the present as �what is natural and plain to see�. This naturalisation has always been a political operation.

The interpretative tools I have chosen for this exercise are articulated around the analysis of power relations (inclusion/exclusion, antagonism/articulation) within signifying constellations, i.e. discourse political-analysis
