This article analyzes two popular libraries in the southwest province of Buenos Aires, Argentina--the Bernardino Rivadavia of Bahía Blanca Library, founded in 1882, and the Domingo F. Sarmiento de Tres Arroyos Library, inaugurated in 1899--and the creation of their respective children's sections in 1925 and 1928. This paper looks at the formation of these children's sections within the context of expanding public education and child readership in the province. By the end of the 1920s, a verifiable process of expansion and diversification of reading groups had unfolded that was both a product of, and, at the same time, an incentive for further library development and its related transformations. These institutions introduced modifications in order to respond to the growing demand and tried to play an active role in the configuration of a new readership, both by regulating behaviors and reading spaces as well as experience and tastes of the users.

Social exclusion is a complex, multidimensional process which points to the persistence of a variety of deprivations in key dimensions of life, education among them. Working within this context, this paper studies determinants of exclusion in the educational dimension, specifically from its original degree (access), and seeks to evaluate whether they vary in relation to the socioeconomic conditions of the target population. To do this, logistic regression models were calculated using data from Argentina's Permanent Household Survey (PHS), in addition to information obtained from our own survey, performed in April of 2016 in three vulnerable communities of Bahía Blanca, Argentina.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the forms of sociability among secondary school students in two state-managed schools in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

In this paper we attempt to make a contribution to teacher training in comprehensive sex education. Considering the importance of the hidden curriculum in the transmission of sexism and the reproduction of gender inequalities, we developed a device to work with educational interventions in emerging conflicts at school, focusing on those that relate to gender and sexuality. For the implementation of the device we formed a community of practice of middle school teachers from different disciplines in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The device is based on image theater, which enabled us to address school situations from the viewpoint of the physical body, revealing dimensions of sexuality often silenced in school. Using the proposed scene, teachers were able to reflect on the tensions and meanings attributed to pregnancy in the school system. We concluded that this type of analysis can represent a way to reflect on the roles and relationships of power, giving teachers new tools for situations that occur in school life.

In this paper we will analyze the ways in which the corporal discourse became part of the Salesian educational community in what is known as the Military Government of Comodoro Rivadavia, between 1944 and 1955. Starting in the mid-1930s, the Salesian congregation fostered, with the aid of the Administración de Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales (YPF: Treasury Petroleum Fields), technical education for youngsters that would later become part of the state owned oil company. We will show that, by opening a Technical School in 1937, the Church expected to bring the Christian Doctrine closer to the world of labor, and with this, to a specific form of masculinity.

In this paper, we will analyze the level of conflict of teachers in the eighties in Argentina. We will do so through the study of the teacher union of the province of Santa Fe and of the 1988 strike that had a major national impact. This protest took different names, such as "Maestrazo", "White Demonstration" or "White Strike", but they all referred to the same scenario: mass mobilization encouraged by teachers and their union representatives in a troubled political, economic and cultural context at national level.
