Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Los Angeles, 2009.

This dissertation historicizes the purposes and projects served by the invocation of universal education through an examination of the dissemination of John Dewey's pedagogy in Mexico, the core of one of the twentieth century's most important projects in modern education. Through Deweyan education, Mexican intellectuals such as his self- professed disciple Moises Saenz, endeavored to create new subjects of modernity who could generate the modern from within the nation. Intended both to create a modern nation as well as to save the Mexican state from the very own forces unleashed by modernity, the uses of Dewey in Mexico responded to the imperative of constructing a homogeneous nation out of innumerable local and regional particularities.

520 $a This dissertation historicizes the purposes and projects served by the invocation of universal education through an examination of the dissemination of John Dewey's pedagogy in Mexico, the core of one of the twentieth century's most important projects in modern education. Through Deweyan education, Mexican intellectuals such as his self- professed disciple Moises Saenz, endeavored to create new subjects of modernity who could generate the modern from within the nation. Intended both to create a modern nation as well as to save the Mexican state from the very own forces unleashed by modernity, the uses of Dewey in Mexico responded to the imperative of constructing a homogeneous nation out of innumerable local and regional particularities.
520 $a The Dewey project in Mexico exposed a deep irony in the translation of Dewey's ideas. Dewey's philosophy offered a politics grounded in the patriotic and the local community. In spite of his project's similarity of spirit with the Mexican revolutionary impulse to preserve local autonomy and defend it against an encroaching state and domineering provincial governments, the Dewey project came to be seen as contradictory to Mexico's revolutionary spirit and antagonistic to its sense of national identity. Saenz's own pedagogy expressed that tension: fully accommodating a communitarian utopian experiment within a realpolitik from-the-top-down state-aggrandizing project.
520 $a The contradictions between community and nation, state politics and democracy, patriotism and nationalism, spoke to ambivalences in Dewey's own political philosophy. While Dewey realized the theoretical difficulties of nationalizing the patriotic sentiment of the community, he preserved his faith in a political vision that reconciled nation and community, partly as a result of his conviction that the United States of America had already achieved such a foundation. This exceptionalist reading of American history constituted the regulating principle of his social theory.
520 $a The Dewey project in Mexico must not be seen as a deviation or a derivative copy of a Deweyan original, but as the production of a new liberalism that read into the imported Deweyan system, not only distinctiveness, but historical similarities. Only then was it recognized as useful. The association of Dewey in Mexico with the western "pioneer," the Spanish "missionary," and the ideology of the "new man," was not fortuitous. Dewey was both indigenous and alien to Mexico at the same time.
