Description du projet
Pleins feux sur les physiciens associés aux mouvements scientifiques radicaux émergents
Les mouvements scientifiques radicaux ont transformé la vie des protagonistes du domaine et ont façonné les débats sur les préoccupations publiques ayant trait à la science, comme la génétique. En mettant l’accent sur les communautés de physiciens de France, d’Italie, du Royaume-Uni et des États-Unis, le projet MISHA, financé par l’UE, lèvera le voile sur l’apparition transnationale de mouvements scientifiques radicaux. Ce faisant, MISHA expliquera le transfert bidirectionnel de connaissances et de personnes entre les États-Unis et l’Europe.
Objectif
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.
