Volta, the Istituto Nazionale and Scientific Communication in Early Nineteenth-Century Italy*
Luigi Pepe Volta, the Istituto Nazionale and Scientific Communication in Early Nineteenth-Century Italy* In a famous paper published in Isis in 1969, Maurice Crosland posed the question as to which was the first international scientific congress. Historians of science commonly established it as the Karlsruhe Congress of 1860 whose subject was chemical notation and atomic weights. Crosland suggested that the first international scientific congress could be considered the meeting convened in Paris on January 20, 1798 for the definition of the metric system.1 In September 1798 there arrived in Paris Bugge from Denmark, van Swinden and Aeneae from Germany, Trallès from Switzerland, Ciscar and Pedrayes from Spain, Balbo, Mascheroni, Multedo, Franchini and Fabbroni from Italy. These scientists joined the several scientists already living in Paris and engaged in the definition of the metric system: Coulomb, Mechain, Delambre, Laplace, Legendre, Lagrange, etc. English and American scientists, however, did not take part in the meeting. The same question could be asked regarding the first national congress in England, in Germany, in Switzerland, in Italy, etc. As far as Italy is concerned, many historians of science would date the first meeting of Italian scientists (Prima Riunione degli Scienziati Italiani) as the one held in Pisa in 1839. This meeting was organised by Carlo Luciano Bonaparte, Napoleon’s nephew, with the co-operation of the mathematician Gaetano Giorgini under the sanction of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Leopold II (Leopold was a member of the Royal Society).2 Participation in the meetings of the Italian scientists, held annually from 1839 for nine years, was high: * This research was made possible by support from C.N.R. -
150 Éve Adták Át a Szuezi-Csatornát Az Ókori Csatorna
150 éve adták át a Szuezi-csatornát Dr. Nagy László BME 2019. november 17-én 150 éves a Szuezi-csatorna. Csaknem négyezer év jelenti a Földközi- és Vörös-tenger összekapcsolásának a történelmét. A csatorna terve már az ókorban foglalkoztatta az uralkodókat. Az ókor tudós mérnökei azonban nem egy észak–déli csatorna tervét készítették el, hanem egy nyugat–keleti irányban húzódó csatornáét, amely a Nílus egy új mellékága lett a delta keleti részén, a Vádi Tumiláton keresztül. Bár jó néhány kísérlet történt a helyreállítására, az ókori csatorna azonban többször eliszaposodott, tönkrement. A források szerint i.e. 767-ig többé-kevésbé használatban volt. Az 1840-es években egy észak-déli csatorna megépítésével javasolták a víziút kialakítását. A technikai fejlődés, a politikai lehetőség és nem kis részben a személyes kapcsolatok jelentették ennek a műszaki „csodának“ a megvalósíthatóságát. Talán kevés olyan műszaki létesítmény van, amelyik ilyen nagy hatással lett volna a Földi viszonyokra, és ilyen sok „törődést” igényelt volna. Fitzgerald 1876-ban megjelent könyvében azt írta, hogy a Szuezi nagy csatorna politikai, mérnöki és pénzügyi történet. Ez a megállapítás több, mint száz évvel később is igaz, ennek a hármas tagozódásnak a kialakulását szeretném bemutatni jelen tanulmányban. A szuezi földszoroson át a Földközi-tengert a Vörös-tengerrel összekötő csatorna gondolata már az ókorban felmerült. A Szuezi-csatorna1 a Sínai-félsziget nyugati részén2 épült tengeri csatorna. Hossza 193,3 km, a legkeskenyebb részén 300 m széles. Ez a mesterséges vízi út Egyiptomban a Földközi-tengeri Port Said és a Vörös-tengeri Szuez városokat köti össze. A csatorna észak-déli irányú vízi szállítást tesz lehetővé Európa és Ázsia között Afrika megkerülése nélkül. -

Science Diplomacy in History. from the Suez Canal to a Synchrotron in the Middle East Barbara Curli University of Turin in Novem
Science Diplomacy in history. From the Suez Canal to a Synchrotron in the Middle East Barbara Curli University of Turin In November 1855 the International Commission for the piercing of the isthmus of Suez docked in Alexandria. It was constituted by the major experts in naval and civil engineering and large-scale public works of France, the UK, Prussia, the Habsburg Empire, the Netherlands, Spain and the kingdom of Piedmont - the latter represented by the minister of Public Works of the Cavour Government, Pietro Paleocapa, one the most famous hydraulic engineers of the time, who had supervised the drainage and reclamation of the Venice lagoon and the Danube Delta and, as minister, had just initiated the construction of the Moncenisio tunnel through the Alps. When they landed in Alexandria, the "eminent scientists" - as the chronicles of the time report - who had to express "the scientific decision of Europe" were certainly aware of the importance and complexity of their task - that is, to assess the technical feasibility of the Canal, its possible course and the actual modalities of construction. But probably they didn't know they were about to carry out what could be seen as the first modern experiment in multilateral techno-scientific diplomacy: a Pan-European project in the Ottoman Middle East, or rather in an Egypt whose Khedive was pursuing political autonomy from the Sublime Porte (and the Canal was functional to this objective); while in Europe - where the echoes of the revolution of 1848 were still resounding - the big Peace Congress of Paris was opening, with the aim to redefine both the European order and the "Eastern Question" after the Crimean war. -

A Camera Obscura by Voigtländer & Son Vienna
Simon Weber-Unger A Camera Obscura by 70 5 Voigtländer & Son Vienna This article treats a camera obscura that, by its provenance, maker and date, can be placed in a direct connection to the early period of Austrian photography and its development . The Changeable Picture our Society in I Description of the camera obscura Figure 1: Made in Vienna, c . 1848, signed on lens “Voigtländer & Sohn / in Wien ”. Mahogany veneer wood corpus, mirror and ground glass (not original), lacquered brass lens with lens hood and brass cap, focussing screw, brass fitted screw-on magnifier glass (fig . 4) . Dimensions: wood box c 25. 3. x 36 .4 x 30 7. cm, total length c .49 cm, lens diameter c 65. mm, focusing screen up to c 22. x 27 cm . Detailed description of the camera obscura’s lens by Dr. Milos Mladek, Vienna The lens of the camera obscura is an optical system of three glasses in two groups with a fixed intermediate diaphragm, mounted in a beautifully-made, sturdy brass barrel engraved „Voigtländer & Sohn in Wien“ . It has rack-and-pinion focusing and renders a sharp image with good contrast and no apparent distortion . As for the optical design: The heart of the system seems to be a positive meniscus in the rear, with a focal length of 12 cm and a fixed diaphragm before it . There is a strongly negative cemented meniscus (consisting of a biconvex lens in front and a biconcave lens behind) in front of these two . The focal length of the whole system is about 25 cm, with an approximate lens register of about 35 cm, the relative aperture is probably about f / 9 . -
J Eijking Experts Without Communities
Experts without communities Internationality, impartiality, and the Suez Canal Abstract How and why has expertise become such a central component of modern global governance? Neither of two dominant IR takes on the topic—functionalist approaches to epistemic communities, and poststructuralist perspectives on governmentality—have offered satisfactory answers to this arguably urgent question. This is because, respectively, epistemic communities emphasise cohesion at the expense of disunity prior to formation; and because governmentality primarily applies to neoliberal polities. Neither travels well in time. To overcome these limitations and constructively bridge the two approaches, this paper suggests a conceptual rethinking based on a surprisingly neglected but pivotal case: the 1855 International Commission on the Isthmus of Suez. Based on original archival research, the paper showcases how modern expert-based global governance emerged in practice. It argues that expert-based global governance should be understood as a practice that constructs “internationality” as a categorical claim to impartiality. What made modern global governance possible was a notion of the international as a depoliticised category. This authorised experts as central agents of international order. Consequently, expert authority is not epistemic by default: the 1855 case shows that political favour can endow experts with authority, a nexus which internationality is then able to mask as impartiality. The nineteenth-century rise of the middle class, scientific internationalism, and informal empire made such masking more desirable than the open admission of political aims. The article thus offers a corrective to existing accounts and a new avenue toward historicising a central practice of modern global governance. Keywords expertise, global governance, epistemic communities, governmentality, Suez Canal Introduction It hardly needs pointing out today that global governance is rife with deference to experts. -
