The Protagonists of Education: University Students in the Canary Islands, 1913-1927

ABSTRACT The objective of this article is to analyze the significant features of the students of the University Section of the Canary Islands (1913-1927) through the documents of the academic institution. In the context of the time, the establishment of higher education in the Canary Islands (Spain) was complicated. The aspirations of the island elites to have university studies, after various efforts with the intermediation of politicians, journalists, and professors of the high school institute, were achieved in 1913, although they were dependent on the University of Seville. We use the methodology of historical analysis resorting to primary and secondary sources. This research contributes to revealing the singularities of the students in the implantation of university studies in the Canary Islands and enriches the microhistory, while at the same time providing a little-exploited line of research that can be extrapolated to other geographical settings.摘要：本研究旨在依托该学术机构的馆藏文献，剖析1913年至1927年间加那利群岛大学学部（University Section of the Canary Islands）学生群体的核心特征。彼时，西班牙加那利群岛高等教育的创设进程举步维艰。当地岛屿精英渴望接受大学教育，经政客、记者与高级中学教授多方斡旋推动，该愿景终在1913年得以实现，但该学部仍隶属于塞维利亚大学（University of Seville）。本研究采用历史分析方法，以一手史料与二手史料为研究基础。本研究不仅揭示了加那利群岛大学教育初创阶段学生群体的独特性，丰富了微观史学（microhistory）的研究内涵，同时亦提供了一条尚未得到充分挖掘的研究路径，该路径可推广至其他地域的同类研究场景。
