Special Book Design! Upside-down volume with the original French version on one side and the English translation on the other. In 1922, a young Belgian 'pedologist' named Raymond Buyse accompanied the famous Dr. Ovide Decroly on a study tour of the United States of America. They met with well-known American professors to learn more about the 'scientific' study of the child and especially about applied American psychology. Buyse noted his impressions of the trip in a diary. These are scribbles, sometimes difficult to decipher, written on loose sheets, held together by a ring binder. They reflect the culture shock experienced by Buyse in confronting this dazzling nation. The young scholar writes in a lively style and with humour about his meetings with the 'great' psychologists and educationalists of that time, visualizing his impressions of the land and the people with little drawings in the text. Here the record of this fascinating scholarly and cultural encounter is published for the first time, both in the original French with an English translation. In their exhaustive introduction Marc Depaepe and Lieven D'hulst explain the historical context of this both personal and intellectual journey to the present-day reader. Livre imprim??? t???te-b???che! Volume r???versible avec la version originale fran???aise d'un c???t??? et la traduction anglaise de l'autre. En 1922, Raymond Buyse, un jeune ??? p???dologue ??? belge, entreprend, en compagnie du c???l???bre docteur Ovide Decroly, un voyage d'???tude aux ???tats-Unis. Ils y rencontrent des professeurs am???ricains de renom et se familiarisent avec l'???tude scientifique de l'enfant et avec la psychologie am???ricaine appliqu???e en particulier. Buyse note ses impressions de voyage dans un carnet. Ce sont des gribouillis, parfois difficiles ??? d???chiffrer, r???dig???s sur des feuilles volantes r???unies dans un classeur. Elles t???moignent du choc culturel que la confrontation avec le pays du progr???s suscite en lui. Le jeune chercheur narre avec humour ses rencontres et dresse un portrait vivant d'illustres psychologues et p???dagogues de cette ???poque. Le texte est entrelac??? de petits dessins. Le r???cit de ce fascinant voyage scientifique et interculturel est publi??? maintenant pour la premi???re fois, sous la forme d'une ???dition annot???e, non seulement en fran???ais - la langue originale dans laquelle il a ???t??? r???dig??? - mais aussi en anglais. Dans une longue introduction, Marc Depaepe et Lieven D'hulst ???clairent pour le lecteur d'aujourd'hui le contexte historique de ce voyage ??? la fois personnel et intellectuel.
