Abstract

This article uses as empirical reference the Archives of the Technical School in the town of Centeno (Santa Fe, Argentina) with the objective of studying the tension between the speeches disclosed in written papers (documents or transcribed interviews) and the series of collected photographs. This school, founded in 1938, functioned as an exclusive women’s institution of education until 1980. The students learned needlework and they graduated prepared to work in the domestic world: housewives or seamstresses, knitters or embroiderers. This education, part domestic and part professional, as corroborated in the school’s documents, diminishes its imprint when photographed. The photos show female students. Thus, this experience is a pretext to analyze the tension between what is said and what is portrayed when we make history.
