The Early Jesuits’ Transformative Vision of Education in the Context of Colonization from Their Sixteenth-Century Beginnings to Their Suppression in 1773: A Longue Durée Synthesis and Online Interactive Map Locating the Colleges
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper comprises two parts, a longue durée interpretative historical synthesis that examines the Jesuits’ transformative vision of education, and a digital interactive map that visualizes the globality of their educational enterprise (https://theirgroup.org/Jesuits/map/). The Jesuits’ vision of education, grounded in humanism, and its intersection with confessionalization, as well as their aim to generate a secular Catholic leadership are placed within the developing geopolitical context of coloniality and in interplay with micro and macro political, social, economic, and religious contexts. Special attention is paid to the interaction with the emerging configurations of modern ideas, particularly those developed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The historiography of the last two decades is referred to in the analysis of how the Jesuits related to emerging ecologies of knowledge and to the limits to their articulation with those knowledges.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
