Dear colleagues,
away from British and North-American scholarship on the history of science for some time - and just coming back to it - I take the liberty to send a bottle on this list.
I have been investing the material history of the human and social science over th long 20c - considering tools and "data management" denoted, according to me, work relationship - and helped sketching power relations in the making of science.
I have recently got a sense of the relevance of the prospect for East Asia (https://journals.openedition.org/traces/7078)
Yet, my knowledge of the literature so far, has been confined to French research - on colonial and rural investigations. - and realized that I badly needed to get into similar scholarship for Britain and the British empire - to start with.
It would be extremely kind if you could think of important or less-known works about investigations of social science and humanities, either disciplinary or comparative which I might be interested in.
In addition - I wonder whether anyone could guide me to a book about the changes of "data management" in the social science (either a textbook or critical work) - which has hit French universities at the request of European universities, as a new step in that history of knowledge which I am interested in.
I am deeply conscious that my email is resquesting a full library of references (books and papers). However I would greatly appreciate your help in picking some of them, significant to your eyes - on or off list.
With kindest regards, and many thanks in advance,
Christelle Rabier
