    What Does the Arrest and Release of Emile Borel and His Colleagues in 1941 Tell Us about the German Occupation of France?Laurent Mazliak & Glenn Shafer - 2011 - Science in Context 24 (4):587-623.
    ArgumentThe Germans occupying Paris arrested Emile Borel and three other members of the Académie des Sciences in October 1941 and released them about five weeks later. Drawing on German and French archives and other sources, we argue that these events illustrate the complexity of the motivations and tactics of the occupiers and the occupied. While Borel and his colleagues were genuine members of the Resistance, and those who arrested them were full participants in a brutal occupation, both sides respected a (...)

    The beginnings of the Soviet encyclopedia. The utopia and misery of mathematics in the political turmoil of the 1920s.Laurent Mazliak - 2018 - Centaurus 60 (1-2):25-51.
    In this paper, we focus on the launch of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, which was first published in 1925. We present the context of the launch and explain why it was closely connected to the period of the New Economic Policy. In the last section, we examine four articles about randomness and probability included in the first volumes of the encyclopedia in order to illustrate some debates from within the scientific scene in the USSR during the 1920s.

    Belgium and probability in the nineteenth century: The case of Paul Mansion.Laurent Mazliak - 2021 - Science in Context 34 (3):313-340.
    ArgumentThis paper explores how the Belgian mathematician Paul Mansion became interested in probability theory. In comparison to many other countries at the time, probability theory had a much stronger presence in Belgium. In addition, Mansion, who was an avowed Catholic militant, had found probability theory to be a useful means of reflecting on certain problems pertaining to determinism and randomness that were arising in scientific debates at the time. Mansion’s work took place during a time of consolidation of mathematical education (...)

    Using Harmonic Analysis to “Classify Human Races”. Fernand Ozil’s Research at the “Centre de Recherches Scientifiques, Industrielles et Maritimes” in Marseille (1941-1948). [REVIEW]Laurent Petitgirard Mazliak - forthcoming - Philosophia Scientiae:33-57.
    Le géologue Charles Jacob est nommé en aout 1940 à la tête du CNRS, finalement maintenu par Vichy, et même renforcé, mais avec une évolution importante de son fonctionnement. Jacob impose à tous les niveaux un fonctionnement pyramidal, autoritaire et transpose à son échelle le culte du chef. À l’échelle locale, on peut suivre les acteurs, les déterminants et les décisions qui ont conduit à la création du laboratoire CRSIM (Centre de recherches scientifiques, industrielles et maritimes) à Marseille en 1941, (...)
