It investigates various forms of scientific practice conducted during, after and before expeditions, and it places this discussion into the scientific context of experiments. In treating expeditions as experiments in a heuristic sense, we also propose that the expedition is a variation on the laboratory in which different practices can be conducted and where the transformation of uncertain into certain knowledge is tested. The experimental positioning of the expedition brings together an ensemble of techniques, strategies, material agents and social actors, and illuminates the steps leading from observation to facts and documentation. The chapters show the variety of scientific interests that motivated expeditions with their focus on natural history, geology, ichthyology, botany, zoology, helminthology, speleology, physical anthropology, oceanography, meteorology and magnetism. . . . | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | Science; History of Technology; STM; Eighteenth Century; Natural History; document; documentation; expediti | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-58106-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-84534-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-58106-8Series ISSN 2730-972X Series E-ISSN 2730-9738 | | issn_series | 2730-972X | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
