Aphra Behn’s The Emperor of the Moon (1687) amuses its audiences with the domestic problems generated by an amateur naturalist who, convinced of the existence of intelligent life on the Moon, is determined to find consorts for his daughter and niece among its inhabitants, with a view to improving humanity. The play is an apposite illustration of its author’s vast knowledge and her scholarly ambitions. The article shows how, through an ingenious deployment of the conventions of popular performative genres, Behn creates a play whose amorphous structure reflects the fascinating (and perplexing) heterogeneity of the science of her contemporaries. It makes the case thatBehn demonstrates her intelligence and suggests the relevance of her contributions to fields of knowledge that were increasingly perceived as more serious and thus more unsuitable to be addressed, sensibly and with sophistication, by women.

Within the framework of the Argentinian reception of the work of writer and naturalist William Henry Hudson, read from aesthetically and ideologically divergent sectors, this paper investigates the early recovery of his figure in the ornithological journal El hornero. As it will be seen, one of the ways of reinserting him as a "national" naturalist and universal writer is produced from the patrimonial discovery and restoration of his affective topography, particularly his mythical birthplace in Los veinticinco ombúes ranch. The management and visibility operations carried out by El hornero do not take place on the native space as a crystallized territory, but rather on the temporary transformations that it experiences: the house where he was born is, first of all, a ruin that could be identified thanks to Hudson's formidable "topographical memory" and the efforts of his main promoter, Fernando Pozzo; then, the house becomes a destination for scientific excursions and, finally, a house-museum project. Each of these forms by which Hudson's home and biography are declined at the same time condenses the journal's scientific, literary and patrimonial interests, and offers different forms of collaboration and dispute between national and foreign political and scientific figures.

Jeanne Villepreux-Power was a French naturalist born in 1794 in Juillac. Although she initially worked as a dressmaker, she developed a great interest in mollusks and designed three types of aquariums to study them. Her research and descriptions of marine life, especially the species Argonauta argo, were very important. She also had pioneering ideas in the repopulation of freshwater channels and is considered the "mother of aquariums". She participated in various scientific associations and published several books. Jeanne and her husband migrated to London in 1843, but lost many of their records in a shipwreck. Jeanne passed away in 1871 in her hometown. [Extracted from the article]

Background and aims: Palms (Arecaceae) are one of the most conspicuous elements of Northeast Argentina (NEA), occupying a central place in the landscapes and worldviews (M'bya, family farmers). The objective of this work is to survey the diversity of palms, uses, valuations and management practices of palms and palm groves recorded in documentary sources. Also, analyze the processes of change and continuity, in order to understand the construction of the landscape of palm groves in the region. M&M: From historical ethnobotany, three types of documentary sources were analyzed: diaries and manuscripts of the Jesuits (18th century), early traveler's diaries (first half of the 19th century) late traveler and naturalist diaries (late 19th century and early 20th century), who traveled through the NEA and surrounding areas. Results: Thirty-one local names of Arecaceae were registered corresponding to seven species and 37 categories of use (i.e. food, constructions) were surveyed. Some of the typical uses of the Guarani are relegated to the Jesuit bibliography, while those related to livestock are mentioned by travelers and naturalists. The valuation of palm trees is always positive among the different groups studied and that management practices (i.e. harvesting, harvesting by felling and tolerance) are linked to the main registered uses. Conclusions: The importance of palms for the local communities can be observed through the documentary sources, as well as some processes of change and continuity in the mentioned species, uses and practices according to the three types of sources.

The article analyzes the contribution of Juan Ignacio Molina to the development of the scientific method in Chile. Molina, considered the first Chilean scientist, introduced the scientific method through the study of Chilean flora and fauna, especially through taxonomy. After being expelled from Chile, Molina settled in Italy and dedicated himself to the study of natural history. His methodology included the identification of specimens with vernacular and scientific names in Latin, as well as detailed descriptions of their characteristics. Although some of his descriptions do not objectively correspond to the morphological reality of the species, his work was recognized and drew attention in Europe. [Extracted from the article]

The purpose of this work is to analyze the notion of person in Duns Scotus, in order to understand what is the novelty that adds this category to the Aristotelian substance, and if it contributes in something to philosophical thinking. In this sense, we can affirm that, in his attempt to overcome the Boecian naturalist vision, the philosopher who revolutionizes the concept of person was Ricardo de San Víctor, and it is Duns Escoto in the thirteenth century who systematizes the reflection on the matter.

Advances in new digital technologies have led to the blossoming of a great variety of techniques for analysing art objects, as well as other elements of material culture. This article outlines a digital study of the artistic technique employed by Canarian naturalist Domingo Bello y Espinosa (1817-1884) in his notebook Álbum Pintoresco de Canarias (1879, whereby digital photography has offered an initial approach to his technique of scientific illustration. The article brings to light this Canarian's heretofore little-known scientific drawings while inviting reflection on the usefulness of digital technology in interpreting them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The question at the title of this paper, “Will or reason in the origin of the political order? The answer of Medieval and Contemporary Political Theology�, renews an alternative that has become a locus classicus of political theory: the political order enters in the rational constitution of reality and, consequently, is not a created thing but has its existence discovered as an entity amongst other natural entities, or, on the other hand, the political order dues its existence exclusively to human institution and, consequently, appears as a result of an act of human will? I will not although analyze here both positions, one naturalist and another voluntarist, but I intend to show how the political theories of Gilles of Rome and Carl Schmitt answer the question about the Origin of the State.

The timber exploitation in the department of Imperial between 1867 and 1920 is analysed for the first time, taking into account the causes of this exploitation, the form in which the wood was harvested, and the environmental consequences of this activity. Primary sources (records and writings from travellers, government officials and naturalists, among others) and secondary sources (primarily historical, archaeological, and paleoenvironmental studies) were analysed for this purpose. The results show that i) the forest was exploited due to constructive, ideological, and profit related motives, ii) the wood was extracted using traditional methods, for example, by hand and with the aid of oxen, and iii) the destruction of the forest lead to the loss of biodiversity, to micro-climatic changes and to the unusual flooding of rivers, due to riverbed silting, as a result of the deforestation.

Bonpland's relashionship with Americas leads us to reflect about the necessary conditions for the transfer of a science and the ideology it bears. In favour of the independence of the Rio de la Plata, imbued with a political culture that puts forward the necessity of a strong state thus enabling a nation to be stable and to shine forth, Bonpland faces the instability that characterizes the political construction of this region. By following his path, we witness the union of a naturalist leading a project based on the universalist pattern of the European science with the Rio de la Plata elites who want to implement a specific policy based on the use of natural resources for internal development. We are also witnessing a transformation of a traveler into a migrant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article consists of two parts, the first deals with the actuality of Humboldtian and Bonplandian science, and the second with the popularity of both scientists. Although after their voyage to America (1977-1804) Humboldt and Bonpland pursued their life in a very different way, we aim to address both topics in a comparative mode, especially the reason why Bonpland has become much less well, known than Humboldt even though they did the long voyage together and become famous because of their stay in the equinox regions. The basic idea is to provide a global and actual vision in both directions in spite of the conviction that the two topics, the popularity of both figures and the actuality of their scientific legacy, can't really be separated. Our guide is their different characterization which has been given to them over the last centuries, and we will also discuss some critical questions about the two naturalists. In order to reach the best possible conclusions, we also review investigations about both Humboldt and Bonpland presented in the last five years in congresses and publications from all over the world.

Natural History (NH) is a relevant discipline of the Natural Sciences that describes organisms in their environment from accurate observation. As the mother of Western sciences, its origin dates back to Aristotle's writings. Since then it crossed human history providing essential knowledge for humanity development. After flourishing between the 17th and 19th centuries due to the exploratory travels of European naturalists to the new continents, NH has lost appreciation in its contribution to scientific knowledge. The debate about its role in sciences has swung like a pendulum between estimation and dismissal. In this contribution, we present the main themes of this debate. We expose our point of view from our experience that revalues the history of NH under the influence of Alexander von Humboldt and Amado Bonpland' works. The specialization of sciences, technological advances, the loss of the naturalistic sense, and the connection with romanticism have been among, the main causes that have discredited NH. However, we conclude that history shows us that NH has been and is fundamental for the growth and development of humanity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Between 1881 and 1882, the Italian naturalist Carlos L. Spegazzini (1858-1926) joined the Italo-Argentinian expedition led by Giacomo Bove to Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. He collected Fuegian language materials near Ushuaia in 1882, some of which were later published in different publications. In this article, we present a manuscript entitled "Ona-Yahgna-Alacaluf vocabulary by Dr. Spegazzini" that was copied by Samuel Lafone Quevedo in 1899 and was found in his personal archive. It consists of 42 pages that include vocabulary and phrasal forms, mostly in three columns. Each contains data from the Ona, Yahgan and Alacaluf languages. We focus on the Ona data collected by Spegazzini, (which are actually not in Selknam but in Haush, the least known language of the Chonan linguistic family) which have remained unpublished until now, and considerably increase our knowledge of this language. A better knowledge of Haush will, in turn, expand the historical-comparative research into the Chonan languages as well as the study of loan words and other possible phenomena of linguistic diffusion among the indigenous languages of Tierra del Fuego.

The problem of unequal territorial integration in the Argentinean Patagonia has been widely studied. This article analyzes the interactions between national and scientific rhetorics in the understanding and design of the Patagonian territory, which allows for the interpellation of scientific technical knowledge from the perspective of its political significance. The paper seeks to broaden the academic register and further the critique of the scientific discourse that grounded the development model for the Argentinean Patagonia from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th. It discusses the historiographical background that linked knowledge to utilitarian logic, based on a cross-referenced analysis of writings by naturalists and emblematic figures of planning of the appropriation and Patagonian development during the analyzed period. It shows the strong impact of scientific production on the social and moral planning of a territory that was incorporated late and unequally into the organization of the State. In Patagonia, the national rhetoric describes its progress in terms of a future promise, defining everything that exists there, persons, plants, and animals, as obstacles to the fulfillment of that promise.

The article explores the sociopolitical dynamics deriving from the floods of May 2017 in the commune of Copiapó, in the Atacama region of Chile. From the perspective of processes, it examines the relations among the local organization and opposition practices, in view of the spatial policies formulated in the context of the floods and the subsequent rehabilitation processes. It carries out a theoretical study of the main conceptual discussions regarding spatial justice and links them to the field of socio-natural disasters and risks. In this context, it seeks to identify and describe the sociopolitical dynamics of the local actors in three critical points located in both the urban and peri-urban and rural areas of the commune of Copiapó. Contemporary, ethnographic strategies were used for the analysis. The empirical analysis shows that these dynamics take on differentiated configurations in terms of coping tactics; however, unlike the floods of 2015, in which explanations tended to focus on the naturalist elements of the disaster, the period studied shows a highlighted transition toward a hybrid explanation with a strong emphasis on political elements, evinced in the criticism of the role of the subsidiary State. As a result, socio-natural explanatory frameworks of the disaster take shape. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective/context: This paper analyses the relations between 19th century travelling naturalists and the indigenous inhabitants of Brazilian Amazonia. The region was a favourite among travellers during the latter half of the 19th century. On their travel books, naturalists reported not only on local Nature, but also on local inhabitants and their contributions to the expeditions, making them valuable sources for understanding the interactions between them and the natives. Originality: The originality of the paper rests in the use of a diverse set of primary sources, in the form of 19th century travel books. The article contributes to the current historiography on Natural History expeditions while aiming specifically at the relations between naturalists and the indigenous inhabitants of the region. Methodology: The analysis relies on primary sources, which consist mainly of the travel books written and published by some of the most well-known 19th century travelling naturalists that visited the Brazilian Amazonia. It is from their personal reports and observations that we aim to understand, on the one hand, how these foreign naturalists interacted with the local indigenous inhabitants and, on the other, how the natives were able contribute to the scientific expeditions led by European naturalists. Conclusions: It is safe to conclude that the indigenous inhabitants of Brazilian Amazonia were a constant presence during 19th century expeditions in the region. The interactions between naturalists and natives, sometimes mediated by a third party, were often essential to the success of these expeditions. The principal contribution of the indigenous inhabitants, as stated by the naturalists themselves, was the aid in the collection of specimens. The natives' expertise on the habits and habitats of animals and plants, paired with their hunting and to navigational skills through the region's complex river system, seem to have been a subject of admiration as well as a source of information and specimens.
