Título: | Enlightenment in an Imperial Context: Local Science in Late-Eighteenth Century Hispanic World |

Fecha de publicación: | 2001 | Editor: | University of Chicago Press | Citación: | Osiris, 15: 155-173 (2001) | Resumen: | This paper aims to assess the figuration of local and metropolitan scientific practices and theories in the eighteenth-century Hispanic Empire by focusing on two colonies: New Spain (Mexico) and New Granada (Colombia). In New Spain, Creole and metropolitan scientists negotiated the assimilation of old local wisdom with new European knowledge in their botanical studies of native plants. Through the openness of both groups of scientists to new ideas, the naturalization of standardized procedures, and the verbalization of old problems in new terminology, the globalization process of scientific practices was successfully integrated there at the local level. In New Granada, less favorably, the Royal Botanical Expedition (1783-1816) provoked disagreement between representatives of the viceroy and of the colony's Creole intelligentsia not only about plant classification systems, but about the proper relationship between scientific and political interests. | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1086/649324 https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/649324 |
