Descripción del proyecto
Los físicos implicados en los movimientos científicos radicales emergentes en el punto de mira
Los movimientos científicos radicales han cambiado la vida de las personas que trabajan en este campo y han conformado los debates sobre las preocupaciones del público relacionadas con la ciencia, como la genética. Centrándose en las comunidades de físicos de los Estados Unidos, Francia, Italia y el Reino Unido, el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos MISHA esclarecerá la aparición transnacional de los movimientos científicos radicales. De este modo, MISHA explicará la transferencia bidireccional de conocimientos y personas entre los Estados Unidos y Europa.
Objetivo
MISHA’s research objective is to understand the transnational emergence and flourishing of radical science movements with a particular focus on the physics communities in Italy, France, United Kingdom, and the United States. I aim at elucidating the dynamic of the two-way transfer of knowledge and people between the US and Europe. The project consists of the following research actions: archival research (e.g. Niels Bohr Library & Archives, American Institute of Physics, Cambridge University Library, Wellcome Library, Archives de Jussieu, Sorbonne, Fondazione Lelio e Lisli Basso, University of Rome La Sapienza, Archivio della Società Italiana di Fisica); systematic analysis of written sources, (European and American journals, monographs, and translations of essays and articles); reconstruction of scientific networks from the examination of conferences proceedings, summer schools programs and lectures, and seminars, as well as programmatic documents; reconstruction of institutional and informal networks (political militancy, correspondences, internal reports); definition of the epistemological and political features of the debate on non-neutrality in science at transnational European level. On the methodological side, I will employ the most advanced conceptual tools of transnational history and political epistemology to provide an integrated narrative able to combine political, philosophical, and historical analysis.
