Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The term "scientific expeditions" commonly refers to group travel aiming at the controlled acquisition and widening of specific knowledges. The expedition is also characterized by a clear division of work. This way of organizing scientific work has been popular since the 18th century and has been part of an increased competition among European states in the fields of progress and knowledge. Furthermore, the expedition form encourages co-operation between different social and cultural forces. Typical for scientific expeditions is that they serve and inscribe both cosmopolitan discourses of science and local cultural and ideological practices simultaneously. They aspire to global-cosmopolitan utopias, in other words, claims to civilisation, while being located within specific cultural contexts and - this being the case in the 19th century in particular - within discourses of national scientific achievement. We will ask how these mixings manifest themselves in the expectations, management, legimitation strategies and reception of expeditions. The seminar will open up different fields of knowledge with a focus on scientific expeditions as a means of acquiring insight, but it will also inquire into the intersecting mechanisms and patterns of local and cosmopolitan constitutions of meaning and their realisations.
