Summary/Abstract: The Inventory of Education is a truly collaborative endeavor by a group of researchers-documenters of those “objects” that shape the educational experience. On the thin line between dictionary entries and confessional memorabilia, sometimes stylistically quite academically intoned and sometimes in completely free meter, all contributions in it always weave stories about indispensable points, so to speak, the hallmarks of schooling, such as the blackboard, chalk, notebook, desk, but also about those less emblematic, from the margins of the educational experience yet equally significant moments, such as cheat sheets, hallways, corners, janitors, and the like. The Inventory of Education is a testimony to the collective experience of a generation that grew up in these areas, but also a potential source of critical reflection. It is simultaneously a list of “ingredients” that we necessarily identify with education, an attempt at reinvention, but also an indication of the space for change. It is a possible and, perhaps above all, a fun selective mapping and authorial (re)interpretation of the units that make up the complex system of education.
