EVERYTHING WAS SO DIFFERENT WITHOUT YOUR PRESENCE: DIALOGUES WITH EPISTOLAR WRITING

ABSTRACT In the personal archive of Jessy Cherem (1929-2014), two documents stand out: they are old letters sent from a former student to a teacher from Santa Catarina, kept for over fifty years. By investigating the path taken by these missives, it was possible to locate them on their return and final destination, with their author. Submitted by a student, its contents demonstrate the significant presence of a teacher leaving marks beyond the classroom. These documentary traces are here recognized as carriers of memories, as they testify to stories that make it possible to make approximations, with lived moments, political contexts, sensitivities and educational scenarios, thus contributing with new aspects to the History of Education.

摘要 杰西·切雷姆（Jessy Cherem，1929-2014）的个人档案中，有两份文档尤为引人注目：它们分别为一名来自圣卡塔琳娜州（Santa Catarina）的前学生寄给某位教师的旧书信，被珍藏逾五十载。通过追踪这些信函的流转脉络，研究人员得以追溯其作者留存的返还轨迹与最终归宿。经由学生提交的这些文献，其内容彰显出一位教师在课堂之外留下的深刻印记。这些文献痕迹被视作记忆的载体，因其佐证的诸多故事可让我们贴近彼时的生活片段、政治语境、情感体验与教育图景，从而为教育史研究贡献全新的研究维度。
