Integrating the Cosmopolitan and the Local – The Curricular Construction of Citizens in Luxembourg in the Long Nineteenth Century

During the 19th century new forms of government emerged, understanding themselves explicitly as nation-states. The new definition of the state had to include its members by defining them as citizens, a definition which included both equalizing and differentiating aspects. The education system fulfilled a key role in educating these future citizens. While the principal setting was not a national, I intend to show how this national logic shaped constructions of various types of nation-state citizens made through the public school, based on empirical evidence from the Luxembourgian curriculum. In an exemplifying way, the motivation behind the respective changes and continuities will be uncovered, with emphasis on social differentiation in secondary education and a strong regional differentiation in the homebound lower branches of education.

Sowohl die öffentlichen als auch die innerprofessionellen Diskussionen und die sich daraus ergebenden curricularen Verhandlungen belegen, dass die Schulpolitik in Luxemburg während des Ersten Weltkriegs als ein Mittel zur Konstruktion einer neutralen, pazifistischen, alternativen Realität verstanden wurde, mit Hilfe derer soziale Gegebenheiten und aus dem Krieg resultierende Probleme reguliert werden konnten. Dennoch zeigte die Curriculumspolitik der Nachkriegszeit, dass solche optimistischen Konzeptionen auf Dauer nicht beizubehalten waren. [less ▲]

The Grand Duchy on the Grand Tour: a historical study of student migration in Luxembourg

in Paedagogica Historica (2013), 49(2), 174-193

Since Luxembourg became independent in 1839, practically the entire political, economic and intellectual elite of the country has been socialised abroad. It was only in 2003 that the Grand Duchy set up its own university; before then, young Luxembourgers had to study in foreign countries. Over the past 150 years, Lux- embourg has thus experienced exceptionally lively student migration. This migration is almost unique in Europe; however, academic research has paid little attention to the consequences of the migration experience of whole student gen- erations on Luxembourgish society. The data presented in this paper demonstrate that migration has opened up chances for participation and access to positions of social power, while at the same time the networks of students became an instrument of social exclusion. Thus, the migration experience over the past 150 years not only led to a strong degree of social–cultural cohesion within the national elite; paradoxically, international student mobility has also had deep effects on the preservation of national identity.
