Music and Physics
Musik und Physik: Eine kulturelle, interdisziplinäre Geschichte. Dieser Aufsatz untersucht den Austausch zwischen Physikern, Musikern, und Instrumentenmachern in Deutschland im 19. Jahrhundert. Er repräsentiert eine materielle Kulturgeschichte, die gleichzeitig eine interdisziplinäre Analyse darstellt. Vier konkrete Beispiele solchen Austausches werden diskutiert: das Verhältnis zwischen musikalischen Automaten und Virtuosi, die Zungenpfeife als …

Physics and music in nineteenth-century Prussia
This essay tells the story of two material objects, the organ reed pipe and the monochord, which were critical to two distinct cultural activities of the early nineteenth century, namely physics and music. Indeed, I use these two instruments as a heuristic tool to probe the contours of and intersections between these two disciplines, with a view to improve upon disciplinary histories of both fields. Far removed from cosmic orbitals and Pythagorea…
Volta
A study of scientific and technological creativity, based on archival research and offering insights into the legacies of the Enlightenment.
Physics, Machines and Musical Pedagogy in Nineteenth-Century Germany
The rise and fall of science for all: Science for children voiced by a Portuguese daily newspaper (1924–1933)
Harmonious Investigators of Nature
ArgumentDuring the early nineteenth century, the German Association of Investigators of Nature and Physicians (Versammlung Deutscher Naturforscher und Ärzte) drew upon the cultural resource of choral-society songs as a way to promote male camaraderie and intellectual collaboration. Investigators of nature and physicians wished to forge a unified, scientific identity in the absence of a national one, and music played a critical role in its establi…

Natural and Artificial Budgets
The Argument This article explores the relationship between Goethe's administration of the duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach and his investigation of nature. The notion of the budget was crucial to both enterprises. In Goethe's morphological and mining works, nature's budgets were a heuristic tool by which one could elucidate natural processes. Goethe applied his epistemological approach of investigating nature to the realm of social order. Law, orde…
A Spectrum of Belief
This paper offers a contextualized study of Goethe's Zur Farbenlehre. Goethe's work on colour theory did not merely depict his disdain for the Newtonian doctrine of light and colours: it illustrated his opposition to two extreme forms of politics apparent during the first decade of the nineteenth century - unenlightened despotism and anarchy. Goethe's prismatic games offered a more accessible epistemology to a wider audience. Hence, he linked wha…
