Useful charlatans
Argument This paper analyzes the public fasts of two Italian “hunger artists,” Giovanni Succi and Stefano Merlatti, in Paris in 1886, and their ability to forego eating for a long period (thirty and fifty days respectively). Some contemporary witnesses described them as clever frauds, but others considered them to be interesting physiological anomalies. Controversies about their fasts entered academic circles, but they also spread throughout the …

Exilio y represión científica en el primer franquismo
La revisión de la biografía del químico Enrique Moles Ormella (1883-1953), y, en particular, de sus procesos judiciales en el primer franquismo, aporta nuevos elementos de reflexión con relación a las tipologías del exilio español de la Guerra Civil, así como con el papel de los científicos durante el periodo bélico y los inmediatos años posteriores. Las vicisitudes de Moles en la Dictadura de Primo de Rivera, la República, la Guerra Civil y en l…
Popularizing Science and Technology in the European Periphery, 1800-2000
Science in the Public Sphere
Science in the Public Sphere presents a broad yet detailed picture of the history of science popularization from the Renaissance to the twenty-first century. Global in focus, it provides an original theoretical framework for analysing the political load of science as an instrument of cultural hegemony and giving a voice to expert and lay protagonists throughout history. Organised into a series of thematic chapters spanning diverse periods and pla…
"How to Write an Urban History of STM on the "Periphery
Within the STEP research agenda there has never been an explicit focus on the city as a central place for knowledge production. Scholars of the urban history of science tend to concentrate on the metropolis and have not looked in any systematic way at the scientific culture in "peripheral" urban contexts. To fill this gap, this essay proposes to focus on: (1) the role of science, technology and medicine in everyday life and the experiences of the…
From Papers to Newspapers
ArgumentThis paper analyzes the political dimension of Miguel Masriera's (1901-1981) science popularization program. In the 1920s, Masriera worked at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich - with Hermann Staudinger, the luminary of polymer chemistry - to later become a lecturer of theoretical and physical chemistry at the University of Barcelona. After living in exile in Paris, at the end of the Civil War he returned to Spain b…
Antonio Gramsci Revisited
