DOMINGO MORETTI, Nicolás. In the temple of virtue. Morals and religion at Salesian boarding schools. Córdoba (Argentina), 1905-1930. Secuencia [online]. 2018, n.spe, pp.53-84. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i0.1658.

In addition to undertaking extensive educational work based mainly on the professional instruction of children and young people from low-income sectors, within Salesian Congregation schools, moral training designed to civilize the expressions of the body of schoolchildren played a key role, with special emphasis being placed on the preservation of virtue, modesty and chastity. In a historiographic climate that encourages the recovery of experiences, representations and the various forms of children’s agency, this paper explores the attitude assumed by children and young people at Salesian schools towards this moral discipline at the beginning of the 20th century. A careful reading of testimonials opposing the institutional discourse reveals the repertoire of actions performed by students even in an institution as strictly regulated as a boarding school.
