Perceived Levels of Economic Inequality in Everyday Life Increase Citizens Willingness to Engage in Collective Action
Economic inequality is on the rise worldwide and represents one of the greatest challenges facing individuals and societies today. However, the relationship between the degree of economic inequality and citizens' support for actions aimed at reducing it appears to be close to negligible. Therefore, the aim of the present research was to shed light on a potential pathway for effectively mobilising citizens to address economic inequality and promot…
Resisting: A Matter of Recovering the Past and Regaining our Future”
1. Pragmatism and Feminism: Movements in Waves The first woman to have access to the university and finish a bachelor degree in the United States was presumably Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1910). She studied Medicine, but significantly, as many other women of her generation, she encountered a strong social rejection to her aspirations to work as physician and she often worked as schoolteacher to support her family. She was also a social reformer de…
Interpreting Feyerabend: Critical Essays
Toward an Integrated History and Philosophy of Diagrammatic Practices
This article offers an overview of current approaches to the study of diagrams and their roles in scientific knowledge making. The discussion develops in three parts. The first investigates and questions historical and philosophical analyses of the suppression of diagrams in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It attempts to sketch an alternative historiography of diagrammatic practices in which the insights of advocates of diagrammatic reaso…
Le terrain comme mise en scène
Pour les sciences sociales, l’enquête de terrain est incontournable. Mais alors que l’approche classique se fonde sur l’opposition traditionnelle entre terrain et bureau et sur l’objectivité supposée du chercheur, le travail in situ est appréhendé ici comme une zone accidentée, une expérience dont les rugosités, les malentendus et les perturbations constituent la matière même de la recherche. À la croisée de plusieurs pratiques, les auteurs de ce…
The Historicity of Peirce’s Classification of the Sciences
The classification of the sciences is one of the most discussed and analysed aspects of Peirce’s corpus of work. I propose that Peirce’s attempt at systematising the sciences is characterised by a distinctive historicity, which I construe in two complementary senses. First, I investigate Peirce’s classification as part of a broader nineteenth-century move toward classifying the sciences, a move that was at the same time motivated by social and ep…
Cubism and the Fourth Dimension
This article revisits the historiography of Cubism and mathematics, with a particular focus on Pablo Picasso's uses of geometry at the end of the first decade of the twentieth century. In particular, I consider the artistic appropriation of the concept of the fourth dimension, and its pictorial uses as a conduit for a conceptual reformulation of pictorial space. I investigate Picasso's distinctive adoption of this geometric framework in relation …

‘Beauty is the universal seen’: Objectivity as trained vision in Alfred Stieglitz’s experimental aesthetics
A pioneer of avant-garde photography and a former student of the German chemist August Wilhelm Hofmann, Alfred Stieglitz is an instructive example of how artists related to, and challenged, the status of photographic representations at the turn of the twentieth century. I examine Stieglitz’s contributions to photography in the light of his early engagement with experimental science and claim that his scientific training shaped his experimental ae…
