Book excerpt: Une ambitieuse Histoire des sciences et des savoirs, transnationale, en trois tomes, illustrée, sous la direction de Dominique Pestre Savants, médecins, administrateurs, artisans et amateurs composent le monde des sciences à l'époque moderne. Des mathématiques mixtes au triomphe de l'histoire naturelle, de la cartographie à la question des races, de la philosophie naturelle à l'économie politique, et des jardins botaniques aux théâtres d'anatomie, les circulations sont nombreuses qui nous permettent d'enrichir les histoires disciplinaires. Mais cet ancien régime des sciences et des savoirs ne se limite pas à l'Europe, il s'embarque avec les marins, les marchands et les missionnaires, dans l'océan Indien, au Mexique, en Chine – à la conquête du monde. Premier tome d'une ambitieuse Histoire des sciences et des savoirs depuis la Renaissance, cet ouvrage, écrit par les meilleurs spécialistes, propose une autre lecture du lien entre sciences et première modernité. En suivant les savants au travail, il nous permet aussi d'en finir avec les représentations trop classiques de la " révolution scientifique ". Stéphane Van Damme est professeur d'histoire des sciences au département d'Histoire et civilisation à l'Institut universitaire européen (Florence). Ses recherches portent sur le rôle des savoirs scientifiques dans la culture européenne entre 1650 et 1850. Il a récemment publié À toutes voiles vers la vérité. Une autre histoire de la philosophie au temps des Lumières (Seuil, 2014). Avec les contributions de R. Bertrand, J.-M. Besse, M.-N. Bourguet, P. Brioist, L. Daston, P. Dear, N. Dew, M.P. Donato, L.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les trois tomes s'enchaînent selon une logique chronologique (1. De la Renaissance aux Lumières ; 2. Modernité et globalisation, 1770-1914 ; 3. Le siècle des technosciences, depuis 1914) mais sont structurés selon une même organisation thématique. Ils dégagent dans un premier temps ce qu'est la science à chaque époque et comment elle s'inscrit dans la société et la culture de la période, puis offrent un panorama approfondi de l'évolution des principaux champs et disciplines phares, et enfin replacent les évolutions scientifiques dans l'histoire globale et dans les enjeux de gouvernement (de la nature, des corps, des savoirs, de la société, du progrès, de ses risques, etc.). Savants, médecins, administrateurs, artisans et amateurs composent le monde des sciences à l'époque moderne.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dynamic collection presents a new way of writing national and global histories while developing our understanding of France in the world through short, provocative essays that range from prehistoric frescoes to Coco Chanel to the terrorist attacks of 2015. Bringing together an impressive group of established and up-and-coming historians, this bestselling history conceives of France not as a fixed, rooted entity, but instead as a place and an idea in flux, moving beyond all borders and frontiers, shaped by exchanges and mixtures. Presented in chronological order from 34,000 BC to 2015, each chapter covers a significant year from its own particular angle--the marriage of a Viking leader to a Carolingian princess proposed by Charles the Fat in 882, the Persian embassy's reception at the court of Louis XIV in 1715, the Chilean coup d'état against President Salvador Allende in 1973 that mobilized a generation of French left-wing activists. France in the World combines the intellectual rigor of an academic work with the liveliness and readability of popular history. With a brand-new preface aimed at an international audience, this English-language edition will be an essential resource for Francophiles and scholars alike.

Download or read book Creolised Science written by Dorit Brixius and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-04 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This rich, deeply researched study offers the first comprehensive exploration of cross-cultural plant knowledge in eighteenth-century Mauritius. Using the concept of creolisation – the process by which elements of different cultures are brought together to create entangled and evolving new entities – Brixius examines the production of knowledge on an island without long-established traditions of botany as understood by Europeans. Once foreign plants and knowledge arrived in Mauritius, they were adapted to new environmental circumstances and a new socio-cultural space. Brixius explores how French colonists, settlers, mediators, labourers and enslaved people experienced and shaped the island's botanical past, centring the contributions of subaltern actors. By foregrounding neglected non-European actors from both Africa and Asia, within a melting pot of cultivation traditions from around the world, she presents a truly global history of botanical knowledge.
Download or read book Beyond Bakelite written by Joris Mercelis and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The changing relationships between science and industry in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, illustrated by the career of the “father of plastics.” The Belgian-born American chemist, inventor, and entrepreneur Leo Baekeland (1863–1944) is best known for his invention of the first synthetic plastic—his near-namesake Bakelite—which had applications ranging from electrical insulators to Art Deco jewelry. Toward the end of his career, Baekeland was called the “father of plastics”—given credit for the establishment of a sector to which many other researchers, inventors, and firms inside and outside the United States had also made significant contributions. In Beyond Bakelite, Joris Mercelis examines Baekeland's career, using it as a lens through which to view the changing relationships between science and industry on both sides of the Atlantic in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He gives special attention to the intellectual property strategies and scientific entrepreneurship of the period, making clear their relevance to contemporary concerns. Mercelis describes the growth of what he terms the “science-industry nexus” and the developing interdependence of science and industry. After examining Baekeland's emergence as a pragmatic innovator and leader in scientific circles, Mercelis analyzes Baekeland's international and domestic IP strategies and his efforts to reform the US patent system; his dual roles as scientist and industrialist; the importance of theoretical knowledge to the science-industry nexus; and the American Bakelite companies' research and development practices, technically oriented sales approach, and remuneration schemes. Mercelis argues that the expansion and transformation of the science-industry nexus shaped the careers and legacies of Baekeland and many of his contemporaries.
Download or read book Sites of Mediation written by Christine Göttler and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the dynamic relationships between sites, peoples, objects, and images during the first age of globalization in early modern Europe. It investigates interactions, interconnections, and entanglements on both micro and macro levels, and aims to understand the specific dynamics of processes of translocal and transcultural intersection. Linking global perspectives with the history of material culture, Sites of Mediation highlights the potential of objects, artefacts, and things to connect (urban) cultures and imaginaries. Individual chapters focus on a number of European cities, which all operated on different levels of global and interregional connections and are presented here as sites of connectivity, encounters, and exchange. Contributors are: Tina Asmussen, Nadia Baadj, Benedikt Bego-Ghina, Davina Benkert, Daniela Bleichmar, Susanna Burghartz, Lucas Burkart, Christine Göttler, Franziska Hilfiker, Nicolai Kölmel, Ivo Raband, Jennifer Rabe, Antonella Romano, Michael Schaffner, Sarah-Maria Schober, Claudia Swan, and Stefanie Wyssenbach.
Download or read book Controversy Mapping written by Tommaso Venturini and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As disputes concerning the environment, the economy, and pandemics occupy public debate, we need to learn to navigate matters of public concern when facts are in doubt and expertise is contested. Controversy Mapping is the first book to introduce readers to the observation and representation of contested issues on digital media. Drawing on actor-network theory and digital methods, Venturini and Munk outline the conceptual underpinnings and the many tools and techniques of controversy mapping. They review its history in science and technology studies, discuss its methodological potential, and unfold its political implications. Through a range of cases and examples, they demonstrate how to chart actors and issues using digital fieldwork and computational techniques. A preface by Richard Rogers and an interview with Bruno Latour are also included. A crucial field guide and hands-on companion for the digital age, Controversy Mapping is an indispensable resource for students and scholars of media and communication, as well as activists, journalists, citizens, and decision makers.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Early Modern Philosophy and the Sciences written by Dana Jalobeanu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-27 with total page 2267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Encyclopedia offers a fresh, integrated and creative perspective on the formation and foundations of philosophy and science in European modernity. Combining careful contextual reconstruction with arguments from traditional philosophy, the book examines methodological dimensions, breaks down traditional oppositions such as rationalism vs. empiricism, calls attention to gender issues, to ‘insiders and outsiders’, minor figures in philosophy, and underground movements, among many other topics. In addition, and in line with important recent transformations in the fields of history of science and early modern philosophy, the volume recognizes the specificity and significance of early modern science and discusses important developments including issues of historiography (such as historical epistemology), the interplay between the material culture and modes of knowledge, expert knowledge and craft knowledge. This book stands at the crossroads of different disciplines and combines their approaches – particularly the history of science, the history of philosophy, contemporary philosophy of science, and intellectual and cultural history. It brings together over 100 philosophers, historians of science, historians of mathematics, and medicine offering a comprehensive view of early modern philosophy and the sciences. It combines and discusses recent results from two very active fields: early modern philosophy and the history of (early modern) science.

Book excerpt: Les trois tomes s'enchaînent selon une logique chronologique (1. De la Renaissance aux Lumières ; 2. Modernité et globalisation, 1770-1914 ; 3.

Se donnant comme "la Modernité", les années 1770 à 1914 sont le temps de l'industrialisation et de l'expansion impériale et coloniale. La science est victorieuse, la technique est reine, la Terre est quadrillée et mesurée, les populations sont mises en nombres, les races sont cartographiées. Laboratoires, universités et musées se répandent à l'échelle planétaire. Réunissant les contributions de spécialistes des quatre coins du monde, ce deuxième tome de l'Histoire des sciences et des savoirs nous parle des sciences physiques et des mathématiques, des sciences et des savoirs en Inde, de la révolution Meiji et du "provincialisme" colonial des sciences américaines. Il raconte aussi l'avènement des microbes et leur impact sur les sociétés, l'engouement populaire pour les expositions universelles et, déjà, les inquiétudes des contemporains face à la détérioration du climat. Un livre concret qui brosse un XIXe siècle fascinant et... inquiétant.

This book was released on 2018-06-11 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume of Viaggiatori “Curatele” series seeks to recreate some scientific dialogues, namely meetings, exchanges and acquisition of theoretical and practical scientific knowledge, thus linking the cultural, historical and geographical context of America, Asia, Europe and Mediterranean Sea between the 16th and the 20th century. More specifically, the main objective is to consider the role of travellers as passeurs, as “intermediaries” for building and allowing the circulation of knowhow and the practical and theoretical knowledge from one continent to another.
Download or read book Pieces and Parts in Scientific Texts written by Florence Bretelle-Establet and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book starts from a first general observation: there are very diverse ways to frame and convey scientific knowledge in texts. It then analyzes texts on mathematics, astronomy, medicine and life sciences, produced in various parts of the globe and in different time periods, and examines the reasons behind the segmentation of texts and the consequences of such textual divisions. How can historians and philosophers of science approach this diversity, and what is at stake in dealing with it? The book addresses these questions, adopting a specific approach to do so. In order to shed light on the diversity of organizational patterns and rhetorical strategies in scientific texts, and to question the rationale behind the choices made to present such texts in one particular way, it focuses on the issue of text segmentation, offering answers to questions such as: What was the meaning of segmenting texts into paragraphs, chapters, sections and clusters? Was segmentation used to delimit self-contained units, or to mark breaks in the physical appearance of a text in order to aid reading and memorizing, or to cope with the constraints of the material supports? How, in these different settings and in different texts, were pieces and parts made visible?
Download or read book Community and Identity in Contemporary Technosciences written by Karen Kastenhofer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access edited book provides new thinking on scientific identity formation. It thoroughly interrogates the concepts of community and identity, including both historical and contemporaneous analyses of several scientific fields. Chapters examine whether, and how, today’s scientific identities and communities are subject to fundamental changes, reacting to tangible shifts in research funding as well as more intangible transformations in our society’s understanding and expectations of technoscience. In so doing, this book reinvigorates the concept of scientific community. Readers will discover empirical analyses of newly emerging fields such as synthetic biology, systems biology and nanotechnology, and accounts of the evolution of theoretical conceptions of scientific identity and community. With inspiring examples of technoscientific identity work and community constellations, along with thought-provoking hypotheses and discussion, the work has a broad appeal. Those involved in science governance will benefit particularly from this book, and it has much to offer those in scholarly fields including sociology of science, science studies, philosophy of science and history of science, as well as teachers of science and scientists themselves.
