Images of Italian Mathematics in France
The contributions in this proceedings volume offer a new perspective on the mathematical ties between France and Italy, and reveal how mathematical developments in these two countries affected one another. The focus is above all on the Peninsula’s influence on French mathematicians, counterbalancing the historically predominant perception that French mathematics was a model for Italian mathematicians. In the process, the book details a subtle network of relations between the two countries, where mathematical exchanges fit into the changing and evolving framework of Italian political and academic structures. It reconsiders the issue of nationalities in all of its complexity, an aspect often neglected in research on the history of mathematics. The works in this volume are selected contributions from a conference held in Lille and Lens (France) in November 2013 on Images of Italian Mathematics in France from Risorgimento to Fascism. The authors include respected historians of mathematics, philosophers of science, historians, and specialists for Italy and intellectual relations, ensuring the book will be of great interest to their peers.
Journal 1838-1842
Pierre-Charles Weiss (1779-1866) est né et est mort à Besançon, où il passa toute son existence : il succéda à Louis Coste, mort en 1811, comme conservateur de la Bibliothèque de la Ville et exerça cette fonction pendant un peu plus d'un demi-siècle, jusqu'à sa mort. Cette permanence, ses amitiés, ses activités de bibliographe, son caractère accueillant, lui assurèrent une place de choix au centre de la vie politique et culturelle de Besançon et de la Franche-Comté. Aussi son Journal présente-t-il un grand intérêt pour les chercheurs et les curieux de l'histoire locale au xixe siècle. Le quatrième volume du Journal de Charles Weiss s'étend sur cinq années, de 1838 à 1...
History Retold
This collected volume focuses on the history of Western translation of premodern Chinese texts from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Divided into three parts, nine chapters feature close readings of translated texts, micro-studies of how three translations came into being, and broad-based surveys that inquire into the causes of historical change. Among the specific questions addressed are: What stylistic, generic, and discursive permutations were undergone by Chinese texts as they crossed linguistic borders? Who were the main agents in this centuries-long effort to transmit Chinese culture to the West? How did readership considerations affect the form that particular translations take? More generally, the contributors are concerned with the relevance of current research paradigms, like those of World Literature, transcultural reception, and the rewriting of translation history.
Victor Considerant and the Rise and Fall of French Romantic Socialism
This book traces the rise and fall of French romantic socialism through the life of one of its most influential representatives, Victor Considerant (1808-1893).
Bonapartism and Revolutionary Tradition in France
This study is crucial to the socio-political history of France from 1789-1830.
Journal 1834-1837
Ce volume, le troisième de la série consacrée à publication du Journal de Charles Weiss, ne couvre qu'une courte partie quatre années, de 1834 à 1837 - du manuscrit conservé à la Bibliothèque de Conservation et de prêt de Besançon. Le texte, tout en conservant son caractère de chronique rédigée au jour le jour par un témoin bien informé de la vie bisontine et comtoise, révèle le souci évident de l'auteur d'écrire pour la postérité. Charles Weiss apporte plus de soin à la rédaction de ses notes et concentre son attention sur les hommes et les événements importants de la vie comtoise, ce qui constitue l'originalité de cette partie de son texte. Pierre-Charles Weiss (...
