Book Synopsis L'Invention technique au siècle des Lumières by : Liliane Hilaire-Pérez
Download or read book L'Invention technique au siècle des Lumières written by Liliane Hilaire-Pérez and published by Albin Michel. This book was released on 2017-02-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Angleterre a longtemps nourri bien des mythes : pays d'élection de la Révolution industrielle, terre de la libre entreprise, elle était le creuset de la modernité, la clef d'un discours historique tendu vers la marche du progrès, du machinisme, de la liberté économique et le modèle cité en référence. Pour mettre ce discours à l'épreuve des faits, Liliane Hilaire-Pérez analyse les monopoles d'invention, les récompenses et les encouragements accordés aux inventeurs en France et en Angleterre au XVIIIe siècle. Elle s'intéresse à la figure de l'inventeur au siècle des Lumières et propose une relecture de la rencontre des sciences et des techniques, dans le monde des savoirs traditionnels comme dans celui de l'économie. Comment, dans l'univers de la stabilité, de la défense des normes acquises, l'invention technique est-elle fondamentalement possible ? Comment les artisans concilient-ils leur appartenance à un corps de métier et leur soif de distinction ? Pourquoi se construit, en France, un discours revendicatif fondé sur le droit naturel, alors qu'il ne se manifeste pas en Angleterre ? L'histoire des techniques ne peut se limiter à une succession glorieuse d'inventions et de pionniers ; ce sont aussi les essais répétés, les perfectionnements, les erreurs et les oublis qui donnent leur sens aux inventions. En analysant les stratégies des entrepreneurs et les politiques de l'invention, Liliane Hilaire-Pérez décrit les cheminements à partir desquels s'élabore l'invention alors que s'affirme la sacralisation des inventeurs.

Book Synopsis Innovation and Creativity in Late Medieval and Early Modern European Cities by : Karel Davids
Download or read book Innovation and Creativity in Late Medieval and Early Modern European Cities written by Karel Davids and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Late medieval and early modern cities are often depicted as cradles of artistic creativity and hotbeds of new material culture. Cities in renaissance Italy and in seventeenth and eighteenth-century northwestern Europe are the most obvious cases in point. But, how did this come about? Why did cities rather than rural environments produce new artistic genres, new products and new techniques? How did pre-industrial cities evolve into centres of innovation and creativity? As the most urbanized regions of continental Europe in this period, Italy and the Low Countries provide a rich source of case studies, as the contributors to this volume demonstrate. They set out to examine the relationship between institutional arrangements and regulatory mechanisms such as citizenship and guild rules and innovation and creativity in late medieval and early modern cities. They analyze whether, in what context and why regulation or deregulation influenced innovation and creativity, and what the impact was of long-term changes in the political and economic sphere.

Book Synopsis Strategic Management of Innovation and Design by : Pascal Le Masson
Download or read book Strategic Management of Innovation and Design written by Pascal Le Masson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-09 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is now widespread agreement that innovation holds the key to future economic and social prosperity in developed countries. Experts studying contemporary capitalism also agree that the battle against unemployment and relocations can only be won through innovation. But what kind of innovation is required and what is the best way to manage, steer and organize it? Grounded on experiences of innovative firms and based on recent design theories, this book argues that instead of relying on traditional R&D and project management techniques, the strategic management of innovation must be based on innovative design activities. It analyses and explains new management principles and techniques that deal with these activities, including innovation fields, lineages, C-K (Concept-Knowledge) diagrams and design spaces. The book is ideal for advanced courses in innovation management in industrial design schools, business schools, engineering schools, as well as managers looking to improve their practice.
Download or read book Feeding France written by E. C. Spary and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feeding France is the first comprehensive study of the French food industry in the decades surrounding the French Revolution of 1789. Though the history of gastronomy and the restaurant have been explored by scholars, few are aware that France was also one of the first nations to produce industrial foods. In this time of political and social upheaval, chemists managed to succeed both as public food experts and as industrial food manufacturers. This book explores the intersection between knowledge, practice and commerce which made this new food expertise possible, and the institutional and experimental culture which housed it. Ranging from the exigencies of Old Regime bread-making to the industrial showcasing of gelatine manufacture, E. C. Spary rewrites the history of the French relationship with food to show that industrialisation and patrimonialism were intimately intertwined.

Book Synopsis Instruments of Knowledge by : Jean-François Gauvin
Download or read book Instruments of Knowledge written by Jean-François Gauvin and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-06-19 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a bid to claim ‘scientific objects’ as requiring a significant amount of conceptual labor, this book looks sequentially at instruments, habits, and museums. The goal is to uncover how, together, these material and immaterial activities, rules, and commitments form one meaningful and credible blueprint revealing the building blocks of knowledge production. They serve to conceptualize and examine the entire life of an instrument: from its ideation and craft to its use, reuse, circulation, recycling, and (if not obliterated) its final entry into a museum. It is such an epistemological triptych that guides this investigation.
Book Synopsis The Blind in French Society from the Middle Ages to the Century of Louis Braille by : Zina Weygand
Download or read book The Blind in French Society from the Middle Ages to the Century of Louis Braille written by Zina Weygand and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-07 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The integration of the blind into society has always meant taking on prejudices and inaccurate representations. Weygand's highly accessible anthropological and cultural history introduces us to both real and imaginary figures from the past, uncovering French attitudes towards the blind from the Middle Ages through the first half of the nineteenth century. Much of the book, however, centers on the eighteenth century, the enlightened age of Diderot's emblematic blind man and of the Institute for Blind Youth in Paris, founded by Valentin Haüy, the great benefactor of blind people. Weygand paints a moving picture of the blind admitted to the institutions created for them and of the conditions under which they lived, from the officially-sanctioned beggars of the medieval Quinze-Vingts to the cloth makers of the Institute for Blind Workers. She has also uncovered their fictional counterparts in an impressive array of poems, plays, and novels.The book concludes with Braille, whose invention of writing with raised dots gave blind people around the world definitive access to silent reading and to written communication.
