项目摘要
Project AbstractProposal 0217605Colonial Botany: Gender, Politics, and Commerce between Europe and the West Indies in the Eighteenth CenturyLonda Schiebinger, Penn StateThe last several years have witnessed renewed interest in the history of botany, the "big science" of early modern Europe. This book-length project explores the movement, triumph, suppression, and extinction of different botanical knowledges in 18th century encounters between Europeans and the inhabitants of the Caribbean. The project has several purposes. First, it asks scholarly audiences to consider the cultural politics of plants. Plants rarely appear in undergraduate or graduate courses on European, American, World History or History of Science, and are rarely part of our grand narratives of war, peace, or even everyday life. But they are important cultural artifacts, often at the center of political and economic struggles. In the eighteenth-century, plants played a role in political struggles surrounding slavery (slave women, for example, employed abortifacients to resist producing more field hands for plantation owners). Plants also figured in battles between trading companies, states, and local bio-pirates for monopolies on profitable colonial commodities.Second, this project seeks to examine the linkage between colonial botany and gender relations. While gender has received some attention in the history of eighteenth-century anthropology and travel literature and in the history of slavery, it has received relatively little in the history of colonial botany. In this project, the PI explores how European gender relations guided naturalists as they explored other lands, peoples, and their knowledges. Third, this project contributes to rethinking the history of botany. A long-standing narrative has presented modern botany as the rise of taxonomy, nomenclature, and "pure" systems of classification. This approach does not capture the realities of botany in the eighteenth century as a matter of state. Emerging nation-states that vied for land and resources saw botanists who collected rare and beautiful plants for study and global exchange as crucial for European colonizing efforts in tropical climates. Fourth, this project seeks to develop further and apply a new methodological tool that Robert Proctor has called "agnatology"--the study of culturally-induced ignorances. Agnatology refocuses questions about "how we know" to include questions about what we do not know and why not. While much of the literature on colonial science has focused on how knowledge is made and transferred between continents, the PI explores the non-transfer of important bodies of knowledge from the New World to Europe.The PI will work in archives and libraries in Europe and the Caribbean to prepare a book, for a broad scholarly audience including those working in STS as well as botanists and naturalists.
殖民植物学:十八世纪欧洲和西印度群岛之间的性别、政治和商业在过去的几年里,人们对植物学这一早期现代欧洲的“大科学”重新产生了兴趣。这本书的长度项目探讨了运动,胜利,镇压,并在18日世纪欧洲人和加勒比海居民之间的遭遇不同的植物学知识灭绝。该项目有几个目的。 首先,它要求学者观众考虑植物的文化政治。植物很少出现在本科生或研究生的欧洲,美国,世界历史或科学史课程中,也很少成为我们对战争,和平甚至日常生活的宏大叙事的一部分。但它们是重要的文物,经常处于政治和经济斗争的中心。在18世纪,植物在围绕奴隶制的政治斗争中发挥了作用(例如,奴隶妇女雇用堕胎剂来抵制为种植园主生产更多的田间劳动力)。植物也出现在贸易公司、国家和当地生物海盗之间争夺有利可图的殖民商品垄断权的斗争中。第二,本项目旨在研究殖民植物学与性别关系之间的联系。虽然性别在18世纪人类学和旅行文学史以及奴隶制史上受到了一些关注,但在殖民植物学史上却相对较少。 在这个项目中,PI探讨了欧洲的性别关系如何引导自然主义者探索其他土地,民族和他们的知识。第三,这个项目有助于重新思考植物学的历史。 一个长期存在的叙述将现代植物学描述为分类学、命名法和“纯”分类系统的兴起。 这种方法并没有抓住植物学在十八世纪作为一个国家问题的现实。争夺土地和资源的新兴民族国家认为,收集稀有美丽植物用于研究和全球交流的植物学家对欧洲在热带气候中的殖民努力至关重要。第四,本项目力求进一步发展和应用罗伯特普罗克特称之为“agnatology”的新方法学工具-研究文化引起的冲突。农业学重新聚焦于“我们如何知道”的问题,包括我们不知道什么和为什么不知道的问题。虽然大部分关于殖民地科学的文献都集中在知识是如何产生和在大陆之间转移的,但PI探索了重要的知识体从新世界到欧洲的非转移。PI将在欧洲和加勒比地区的档案馆和图书馆工作,为广泛的学术受众准备一本书,包括STS工作人员以及植物学家和自然学家。
