  1. Norbert Elias and Franz Borkenau.Arpád Szakolczai - 2000 - Theory, Culture and Society 17 (2):45-69.
    This article argues that the life-works of Norbert Elias and Franz Borkenau can best be understood together, as they were developed in close interaction during the 1930s. Deriving inspiration from Freud, they took up the project formulated by Weber at the end of his `Anticritical Last Word'. However, in two significant respects they went beyond the Weberian problematics. First, overcoming the centrality attributed to economic concerns, they rooted the Western civilizing process in the long-term attempt to harness the violence that (...)

  • Practical knowledge and empire in the early modern Iberian world. Towards an artisanal turn.Antonio Sánchez - 2019 - Centaurus 61 (3):268-281.
    Several fields of research associated with the history of the early modern Iberian world have experienced a significant boost in recent decades: Iberian science as it relates to the Atlantic world, the history of European colonial empires, and the study of knowledge production in Latin American cultures. This expansion has coincided with a renewed interest of historians of the early modern period in practical knowledge and artisanal cultures. This paper presents an updated historiographic review of both lines of research as (...)

  • Artisanal culture in early modern Iberian and Atlantic worlds.Antonio Sánchez & Henrique Leitão - 2018 - Centaurus 60 (3):135-140.
    For several decades, historians have realized the limitations of analysing the historical past of science as a mere succession of theories. One of the most stimulating messages that the reinvention of the discipline has launched is that although there are obvious intellectual elements that promote the development and progress of science, there are also social, economic, and institutional aspects to consider. The history of science is no longer just a history of scientific ideas and theories, but also a history of (...)

  • Science as Labor.Wolfgang Lefèvre - 2005 - Perspectives on Science 13 (2):194-225.
    The article takes the term "technoscience" literally and investigates a conception of science that takes it not only as practice, but as production in the sense of a material labor process. It will explore in particular the material connection between science and ordinary production. It will furthermore examine how the historical development of science as a social enterprise was shaped by its technoscientific character. In this context, in an excursus, the prevailing notion will be questioned that social relations must be (...)

  • On the Differences between the Classical and the “Western” Marxist Conceptions of Science.Zeyad El Nabolsy - 2022 - Marxism and Sciences 1 (1):193-217.
    This essay aims to provide an account of the differences between what I call the “Classical Marxist” conception of science which was adhered to by Marx and Engels and further developed by Boris Hessen and others on the one hand, and the conception of science which characterizes “Western Marxism” as it developed through the work of the theorists of the Frankfurt School on the other hand. I argue that Western Marxists such as Herbert Marcuse and Max Horkheimer did not in (...)
