The eighteenth century was the crucial period during which Greek society refmed its shape and produced the political and ideological conditions that, to a certain degree, led to the quest for a separate national identity. Nevertheless, this process was neither uniform nor linear. Different and often competing social groups, various economic interests and diverging political traditions worked out a network of communities which struggled to define a distinctive, though in many instances still vague, position within the context of the Ottoman Empire. It was this geographically scattered network, loosely unified on the basis of common educational and religious traditions-and not a well-defined structure with intrinsic hierarchies and reproductive mechanisms-which comprised Greek society of the period. Under these circumstances, the concept of "scientific travel" acquires a highly idiosyncratic meaning when applied to Greek scholars of the eighteenth century. The particularities of a society seeking its identity in the intersection of multiple political and economic traditions and interests comprised the ground upon which these travels took place. A widespread assumption among contemporary Greek historians is that from the middle of the eighteenth century Greek scholars were conscious of the "forthcoming uprising of the nation" and did their best in order to "enlighten" their people by introducing into Greek intellectual life the attainments of the European Enlightenment. ill this sense, the emergence of a new scientific discourse after 1750 is considered a manifestation of a "progressive" movement 47

Such an approach can be a privileged tool not only for examining the complex processes of institutionalization and specialization of STM in peripheral countries, but also for exploring the interplay of STM in the making of modernity, since popularization seemed to have deep political implications in the implementation of modernization programs and the construction of national and professional identities in the European periphery.

The history of the IRC raises interesting questions regarding the social politics of science as it materialized the desire of leading physicians of the Faculty of Medicine of Lisbon to create proper physical facilities for medically-related scientific research. We argue that the process which led to the creation of the IRC coincided with the gradual professional and political ascendance of physicians in Portuguese society initiated in the late nineteenth century, and is closely associated with Portuguese republicanism and the process of Lisbon becoming the scientific capital.

Essentiellement à la suite de la guerre franco-prussienne, leur origine régionale est souvent mise en avant afin de leur attribuer une certaine singularité: mais peut-on distinguer les Alsaciens des autres chimistes français avant 1870? Forment-ils un groupe homogène de par la spécificité de leur lieu d'origine? Cet article a pour but de démontrer que, par leurs options théoriques, leurs relations personnelles et professionnelles et aussi par leur participation à bien d'initiatives communes, ils se sont organisés au sein de la communauté scientifique parisienne. Parmi ces formes d'organisation, on dégage le rôle fondamentale de l'école de recherche du chimiste Adolphe Wurtz (1817–84) qui apu fonctionner comme noyau de ce qu'on peut considérer comme un vrai réseau de chimistes alsaciens à Paris, pendant la seconde moitié du 19ème siècle.

Whereas in non-peripheral European countries religious themes and even controversies between science and religion were dealt with by scientists and discussed in scientific communities, in Portugal the absence of a debate between science and religion within scientific and intellectual circles is particularly striking. From the historiographic point of view, in a country such as Portugal, where Roman Catholicism is part of the religious and cultural tradition, the influence of religion in all aspects of life has been either taken for granted by those less familiar with the national context or dismissed by local intellectuals, who do not see it as relevant to science. The situation is more complex than these dichotomies, rendering the study of this question particularly appealing from the historiographic point of view, geology being by its very nature a well-suited point from which to approach the theme. We argue that there is a long tradition of independence between science and religion, agnosticism and even atheism among local elites. Especially from the eighteenth century onwards, they are usually portrayed as enlightened minds who struggled against religious and political obscurantism. Religion-or, to be more precise, the Roman Catholic Church and its institutions-was usually identified with backwardness, whereas science was seen as the path to progress; consequently men of science usually dissociated their scientific production from religious belief.

Durant la segona meitat del segle XIX, Espanya i Portugal van consolidar els seus respectius serveis geològics i projectes cartogràfics, i també van endegar diverses formes de cooperació, ja que com a països veïns necessitaven disposar de dades estratigràfiques consistents de les regions frontereres. Des de 1880 en endavant, la publicació del Mapa Geològic d'Europa va forçar ambdós països a negociar més enllà de les seves discrepàncies per tal d'integrar les dades cartogràfiques de la península Ibèrica en el mapa europeu. Aquest article és una primera aproximació al tema, tenint en compte que aquesta tasca havia de confrontar criteris geològics diversos adoptats per països europeus diferents.
