Book excerpt: La quatrième de couverture indique: "Aux yeux du grand public, les voyages scientifiques du passé apparaissent le plus souvent dans leur dimension héroïque. On imagine volontiers l'explorateur, solitaire ou presque, affrontant mille dangers et parcourant d'énormes distances pour parvenir à ses fins : la découverte d'une terre inconnue, d'une cité endormie depuis des siècles, d'une espèce animale jusqu'alors non répertoriée. Or ces découvertes sont rarement le fait d'un homme seul. Pour préparer et mener à bien son voyage, l'explorateur bénéficie de soutiens financiers, de conseils scientifiques, techniques ou méthodologiques, et surtout de la collaboration d'assistants, de guides, d'interprètes, de porteurs. Le voyage s'inscrit lui-même dans un contexte qui est loin d'être anodin et répond à un certain nombre d'attendus, tant dans sa conception que dans ses objectifs : enjeux scientifiques, visées impérialistes, intérêts économiques. Cette exposition entend lever le voile sur cet « envers du décor » des voyages scientifiques ou documentaires montés depuis la France entre 1800 et 1960. Elle s'organise autour des trois temps du voyage : sa préparation, son déroulement et finalement ses retombées scientifiques, politiques ou médiatiques. La première partie ("L'invitation au voyage") s'intéresse notamment au rôle joué par les institutions administratives ou savantes dans l'organisation ou la supervision de la plupart des grandes expéditions évoquées dans l'exposition: évaluation des projets, instructions données aux explorateurs, fourniture de matériel. La partie centrale ("Sur le terrain") est bien entendu dédiée au voyage lui-même: la multiplicité des objectifs et leur évolution dans le temps, l'extrême diversité des lieux visités et des contextes d'études, l'importance de la logistique et la grande dette (rarement avouée) envers les savoirs locaux, les risques encourus par les voyageurs et leurs accompagnateurs. La dernière partie ("Au retour") est consacrée aux résultats: la mémoire du voyage repose sur les supports les plus divers (carnets de route, dessins, photographies, cartes) ; sur cette mémoire repose l'analyse puis la divulgation des données, sous la forme de publications, de conférences ou bien d'expositions, suscitant parfois la création de nouveaux musées. Au fil du temps, l'explorateur est devenu un personnage particulièrement médiatisé, tantôt construisant sa propre légende, tantôt élevé par ses pairs ou le public au rang de héros, voire de martyr."

Book Synopsis British Naturalists in Qing China by : Fa-ti FAN
Download or read book British Naturalists in Qing China written by Fa-ti FAN and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Western scientific interest in China focused primarily on natural history. Prominent scholars in Europe as well as Westerners in China, including missionaries, merchants, consular officers, and visiting plant hunters, eagerly investigated the flora and fauna of China. Yet despite the importance and extent of this scientific activity, it has been entirely neglected by historians of science. This book is the first comprehensive study on this topic. In a series of vivid chapters, Fa-ti Fan examines the research of British naturalists in China in relation to the history of natural history, of empire, and of Sino-Western relations. The author gives a panoramic view of how the British naturalists and the Chinese explored, studied, and represented China's natural world in the social and cultural environment of Qing China. Using the example of British naturalists in China, the author argues for reinterpreting the history of natural history, by including neglected historical actors, intellectual traditions, and cultural practices. His approach moves beyond viewing the history of science and empire within European history and considers the exchange of ideas, aesthetic tastes, material culture, and plants and animals in local and global contexts. This compelling book provides an innovative framework for understanding the formation of scientific practice and knowledge in cultural encounters. Table of Contents: Acknowledgments Introduction I. The Port 1. Natural History in a Chinese Entrepà ́t 2. Art, Commerce, and Natural History II. The Land 3. Science and Informal Empire 4. Sinology and Natural History 5. Travel and Fieldwork in the Interior Epilogue Appendix: Selected Biographical Notes Abbreviations Notes Index Fa-ti Fan's study of the encounter between the British culture of the naturalist and the Chinese culture of the Qing is both a delight and a revelation. The topic has scarcely been addressed by historians of science, and this work fills important gaps in our knowledge of British scientific practice in a noncolonial context and of Chinese reactions to Western science in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In addition to the culture of Victorian naturalists and Sinology, Fan shows an admirable grasp of visual representation in science, Chinese taxonomic schemes, Chinese export art, British imperial scholarship, and journeys of exploration. His treatment of the China trade and descriptions of Chinese markets and nurseries are especially welcome. I learned a great deal, and I strongly recommend this book. --Philip Rehbock, author of Philosophical Naturalists: Themes in Early Nineteenth-Century British Biology By focusing on the experiences of British naturalists in China during a time when it was gradually being opened up to foreign influences, Fan makes at least two important contributions to history of science: He gives us an authoritative study of British naturalists in China (as far as I know the only one of its kind), and he forces us to rethink some of our categories for doing history of science, including how we conceive of the relationship between science and imperialism, and between Western naturalist and native. Fan's scholarship is meticulous, with careful attention to detail, and his prose is clear, controlled, and succinct. --Bernard Lightman, editor of Victorian Science in Context

Book excerpt: The first volume of Viaggiatori “Curatele” series seeks to recreate some scientific dialogues, namely meetings, exchanges and acquisition of theoretical and practical scientific knowledge, thus linking the cultural, historical and geographical context of America, Asia, Europe and Mediterranean Sea between the 16th and the 20th century. More specifically, the main objective is to consider the role of travellers as passeurs, as “intermediaries” for building and allowing the circulation of knowhow and the practical and theoretical knowledge from one continent to another.
