    Approche quantitative d’un projet intellectuel
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 2020

    In: Annales. Histoire, Sciences Sociales, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 75, No. 3-4 ( 2020-09), p. 583-608
    Abstract: The Annales have published 1,182 articles since 1990. Together, they form an image of the journal that can be subjected to quantitative analysis, shedding light, in particular, on the gap between the intellectual project and editorial practice after the “critical turn.” This essay proposes to observe the chronological distribution of the articles, then to cross-reference their various disciplinary and thematic categories. As a central component of the Annales ’ epistemological program, interdisciplinarity occupies an important place, though it comes up against strong limits due to the nature of the journal and a context of “redisciplinarization” in the social sciences. The quantitative approach reveals the relative absence of certain themes otherwise central to recent research in the social sciences, such as gender studies. It also highlights the fecundity of certain intersecting approaches—for example, anthropology and the history of politics and law. Finally, the reflexive and epistemological dimension of numerous articles published in the Annales remains one of the keys to the dialogue between history and the social sciences as envisioned by the journal.

    ‘Keeping in the race’: physics, publication speed and national publishing strategies in Nature , 1895–1939
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 2014

    In: The British Journal for the History of Science, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 47, No. 2 ( 2014-06), p. 257-279
    Abstract: By the onset of the Second World War, the British scientific periodical Nature – specifically, Nature 's ‘Letters to the editor’ column – had become a major publication venue for scientists who wished to publish short communications about their latest experimental findings. This paper argues that the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Ernest Rutherford was instrumental in establishing this use of the ‘Letters to the editor’ column in the early twentieth century. Rutherford's contributions set Nature apart from its fellow scientific weeklies in Britain and helped construct a defining feature of Nature 's influence in the twentieth century. Rutherford's participation in the journal influenced his students and colleagues in the field of radioactivity physics and drew physicists like the German Otto Hahn and the American Bertram Borden Boltwood to submit their work to Nature as well, and Nature came to play a major role in spreading news of the latest research in the science of radioactivity. Rutherford and his colleagues established a pattern of submissions to the ‘Letters to the editor’ that would eventually be adopted by scientists from diverse fields and from laboratories around the world.

    Walsh on Causes and Evolution

    Abstract: Denis Walsh has written a striking new defense in this journal of the statisticalist (i.e., noncausalist) position regarding the forces of evolution. I defend the causalist view against his new objections. I argue that the heart of the issue lies in the nature of nonadditive causation. Detailed consideration of that turns out to defuse Walsh's ‘description-dependence’ critique of causalism. Nevertheless, the critique does suggest a basis for reconciliation between the two competing views.

    Histoire et Géographie : Les Fondements D'Une Complémentarité

    Abstract: The interest in geography shown by Annales historians such as Febvre, Bloch and Braudel dates back to the very beginning of the journal. But common concerns have dissipated, and geography and history have long since proven their independence from each other. As far as history is concerned, for example, the lessons of geographers most attentive to the complex analysis of processes, like Roger Dion, habe been little heeded. And yet today one finds points where geography and history meet up: the relations between nature and culture, and the question of territories (first and foremost perhaps, the city). Concerning such commonly explored questions, the specificity of thèse disciplines cannot be defined by associating one with time and the other with space, but must rather be defined by their practices and ways of grasping objets.

    Reflexive Prediction

    Abstract: In his article “Reflexive Predictions” in a recent issue of this Journal [1], Professor Roger C. Buck refers to our theorem concerning correct public prediction of economic and, in general, social events [2] . Unfortunately he misunderstands the nature of our theorem. He begins by stipulating the infinite regress which originally led to the belief that correct public prediction in the social sciences might be impossible: the forecaster who attempts to take into account the agent's reaction to his public prediction, finds his adjusted public prediction again falsified by the agent's reaction to it, and so on ad infinitum [3]. Professor Buck then makes an admittedly tempting mistake. He argues that, provided the sequence of public predictions—each one adjusted for the agent's reaction to its predecessor—converges towards some value, correct public prediction is possible: at the end of a sequence of falsified predictions the forecaster, as it were, catches up with the agent.

    The Philosophical Relevance of a “Behavioristic Semiotic”

    In: Philosophy of Science, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 15, No. 4 ( 1948-10), p. 316-330
    Abstract: As everyone who has looked into almost any philosophical journal within the last year is aware, Charles Morris has written a book on signs. ( Signs, Language and Behavior , Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1946, hereafter abbreviated “SLB”) More precisely, he has elaborated a strain of thought found in his very earliest writings. A first, partial culmination of these ideas is his monograph Foundations of the Theory of Signs (FTS). Since the publication of FTS, Morris has conducted experiments relative to human sign behavior. SLB, I believe, is a revision and expansion of FTS to take into account new material supplied by these experiments and increased insight into the nature of behavior psychology. For Morris now asserts explicitly, what before he only hinted: that “Semiotic thus becomes a part of the empirical science of behavior, and can utilize whatever principles and predictions the general theory of behavior has attained or can attain.” (SLB p. 19)

    A Mechanistic Theory of Extra-Atomic Physics

    In: Philosophy of Science, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 26, No. 4 ( 1959-10), p. 295-309
    Abstract: Recent impasses reached by nuclear theory, a recurrent desire to interpret quantum phenomena in mechanistic terms and a certain loss of glory suffered by the general theory of relativity make it appear timely, perhaps, to review discarded attempts at common-sense explanations of atomic and relativistic physics, making sure that they have not been too hastily rejected. Mr. Hartley has been a persistent and circumspect advocate of a mechanical view which, even if it cannot claim to solve all problems in the universal flash of brilliance for which physicists and philosophers have waited in vain for decades, raises worthwhile points for consideration. The nature of this task and the preoccupation of technical journals with imminent matters singles out our journal as the proper carrier for Mr. Hartley's thoughts. They are here presented without mathematical detail but in a manner suggestive of the unity of his treatment. Technical details are discussed in some of the items of the bibliography.

    Constructing the ‘automatic’ Greenwich time system: George Biddell Airy and the telegraphic distribution of time, c. 1852–1880
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 2020

    In: The British Journal for the History of Science, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 53, No. 1 ( 2020-03), p. 25-46
    Abstract: In the context of the telegraphic distribution of Greenwich time, while the early experiments, the roles of successive Astronomers Royal in its expansion, and its impacts on the standardization of time in Victorian Britain have all been evaluated, the attempts of George Biddell Airy and his collaborators in constructing the Royal Observatory's time signals as the authoritative source of standard time have been underexplored within the existing historical literature. This paper focuses on the wide-ranging activities of Airy, his assistant astronomers, telegraph engineers, clockmakers and others, which served to increase the reliability of the Royal Observatory's time service between the 1850s and 1870s. Airy and his collaborators aimed to mechanize and automate their telegraphic time distribution system in order to improve its accuracy and reliability. The accomplishment of such technological innovations was disseminated via public lectures, journal articles and correspondence with experts, secondary distributors of standard time and the general public. These communications were used to build public trust in the Greenwich time service. However, the unexplored archival material used in the present paper provides fresh insight into the unstable nature of the Greenwich time system, including its clear limits in terms of its scale of automation and degree of accuracy.

    ‘Saving the lives of our dogs’: the development of canine distemper vaccine in interwar Britain
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 2014

    In: The British Journal for the History of Science, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 47, No. 2 ( 2014-06), p. 305-334
    Abstract: This paper examines the successful campaign in Britain to develop canine distemper vaccine between 1922 and 1933. The campaign mobilized disparate groups around the common cause of using modern science to save the nation's dogs from a deadly disease. Spearheaded by landed patricians associated with the country journal The Field , and funded by dog owners and associations, it relied on collaborations with veterinary professionals, government scientists, the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the commercial pharmaceutical house the Burroughs Wellcome Company (BWC). The social organization of the campaign reveals a number of important, yet previously unexplored, features of interwar science and medicine in Britain. It depended on a patronage system that drew upon a large base of influential benefactors and public subscriptions. Coordinated by the Field Distemper Fund, this system was characterized by close relationships between landed elites and their social networks with senior science administrators and researchers. Relations between experts and non-experts were crucial, with high levels of public engagement in all aspects of research and vaccine development. At the same time, experimental and commercial research supported under the campaign saw dynamic interactions between animal and human medicine, which shaped the organization of the MRC's research programme and demonstrated the value of close collaboration between veterinary and medical science, with the dog as a shared object and resource. Finally, the campaign made possible the translation of ‘laboratory’ findings into field conditions and commercial products. Rather than a unidirectional process, translation involved negotiations over the very boundaries of the ‘laboratory’ and the ‘field’, and what constituted a viable vaccine. This paper suggests that historians reconsider standard historical accounts of the nature of patronage, the role of animals, and the interests of landed elites in interwar British science and medicine.
