We are very pleased to announce our first seminar on Historical Epistemology of the year. Michael Hagner, chair of Science Studies at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, will be joining us to present the Spanish version of his highly acclaimed book Der Hauslehrer (El Preceptor). This presentation will take place the next Tuesday, 12 March, at the room “Sala Menéndez Pidal (0e18)”, at 16:30h.
Prof. Michael Hagner is chair for science studies at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. His latest book is Der Hausleher. Die Geschichte eines Kriminalfalls. Erziehung, Sexualität und Medien un 1900 (Berlin: Suhrkamp Verlag, 2010), translated into Spanish in 2012 (El preceptor. Un caso de educación criminal en Alemania. Buenos Aires: Mardulce). This work recalls the history of Adreas Dippold, a tutor accused in 1903 of killing one of his students as a result of the physical violence inflicted to him. In his defence, Dippold argued that violence was the only way to fight the main vice of his students: masturbation. From this case, the term “dippoldism” designated the sexual excitement resulted from physically punishing children. Hagner examines the social, medical and judicial debates that aroused around this case, interrogating the links among education, sexuality and sadism from a cultural history perspective. Der Hausleher has been internationally praised and broadly reviewed in, for example, the German journals Frankfurter Rundschau, Literaturen, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Neue Zürcher Zeitung and Deutschlandradio Kultur and the Argentinian La nación, Página 12 and Revista Ñ (Clarín).
