Schoolboys in the society of Hetmanschyna in the XVIII century

Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3

Abstract

The article deals with the microgroup of schoolchildren, which the society of Hetmanschyna was perceived as «other». Being at school, begging as a way of earning a living was the basis for the marginalization of schoolchildren, perceiving them as a wandering, prone to crime layers. Some of the children were forced to seek refuge in schools as a result of orphans. In that time, folklore of schoolchildren’s life is described primarily as a difficult and unfulfilled joy. They are always depicted hungry and suffering from cold. Actually, this supposedly, and forced them to steal, as well as the lack of normal clothes. This perception and way of earning a living microgroup of schoolchildren was similar to the community of beggars, but between these two categories of the population were cardinal differences. Yes, the schoolboys were only boys. Their stay at the school was a peculiar stage in the life of a young man who had every chance of becoming a respected member of society, depending on his motives and strategies. The life strategies of others focused on getting a place in the church, thus the school gave birth to church literacy – knowledge of prayers, organization of the liturgy, etc.
