Operative knowledges of matter, from Renaissance to industrialization
Following the renewal of the history of Technology and of the history of chemistry, this Research Seminar intends to explore operative knowledge in chemistry in connection with several fields including economics, political management, consumption and production processes. It seeks to shed a light, since the Early modern period, on various configurations where experimentation, exploration, transformation of Matter were held, through a wide range of technical devices. We will underline cross-skills, transfers and hybridization of processes, and we will show how operative knowledge fostered multiple appropriations: we will then explore the diversity of practices and know-how which allowed specific actions on substances and transformations of matter, and which were the basis of innovation and industrialization and of the reshaping of environment on the long run.
