Organizing Expertise: Engineering and Public Works under Jean-Baptiste Colbert, 1662-83
This essay explores the expertise of the seventeenth-century tax farmer Pierre-Paul Riquet in the design and construction of the Canal de Languedoc across southern France, linking the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It also examines the efforts of the crown’s chief minister, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, to effectively oversee Riquet’s efforts; lacking the requisite expertise himself, Colbert struggled to find project managers with the right c…
The histories of computing(s)
The first electronic digital computers were variations on the protean design of a limited Turing machine, which described not a single device but a schema, and which could assume many forms and could develop in many directions. It became what various groups of people made of it. The computer thus has little or no history of its own. Rather, it has histories derived from the histories of the groups of practitioners who saw in it, or in some yet to…

Local savings banks were generally very keen to assist town councils in financing gasworks. In the late 19th century, financial markets in other Nordic countries were less developed and Ending capital was thus more complicated there than in prosperous Den mark. Furthermore, Denmark was at the time the most urbanized of the No…
