Dans cette communication, nous souhaitons aborder la question du dessin d’invention comme lieu de rencontre de différentes cultures techniques en Angleterre au tournant du XIXe siècle. Le dessin d’invention peut être considéré comme une sous-partie de la vaste catégorie des dessins techniques. À la différence d’autres types de figurations (dessins ...

This article delves into Captain Samuel Alfred Warner's dogged campaign to sell two inventions - his submersible mine and "long range" missile - to the British government in the 1840s and 1850s. Departing from a historiography that dismisses Warner as a fraudster, it clarifies how he managed to generate widespread interest in his weapons technologi...
In this paper, the questions of how support policies affect invention and diffusion of solar PV technology and whether the effect is heterogeneous and counteracting are investigated in order to help policy makers produce a better policy mix. The policies (and policy proxies) investigated are Feed-in-tariffs (FITs), Public R&D stock and flow, Enviro...

This paper explains that when there is great uncertainty about which elements of knowledge must be combined to make an invention, the likelihood of invention increases markedly-by many orders of magnitude-when there are numerous diverse research organizations, rather than just a few. The paper examines the possibility that competition (antitrust) p...
The French authors Henri Bergson and Henri Poincaré call attention upon intuition and its relationship to mathematical invention. Both authors believe that intuition is an intellectual process that requires individual experience both physical and mathematical.

The article discusses how "heritage inventions" take place, as possibilities of rights, and, through this, the racialization when making these choices. With the nomination characteristic of the Law in mind, we defy its role in cultural systems that interact with patrimonialization, which usually make a distinction of the cultural heritage and pract...
À partir de sources écrites et visuelles inédites, ce livre montre comment Louis-Auguste Boileau, menuisier devenu architecte, conçoit l’invention. Sa trajectoire contredit les préventions qui associent les artisans à la préservation des traditions, au travail manuel ou au rejet des innovations. Elle le montre au contraire à la recherche de perfect...
This research reflects on some important changes regarding the greatest inventions and revolutions in technological, educational and communicative innovation. Assuming as a basis the perspective of qualitative research, four fundamental ideas on theoretical reflections closely related to oral culture, chirographic, typographic, and the culture of e...
The types of artistic mimesis are basically three: ritual, visual and cognitive. The last two are the ones that have most influenced art and correspond to the theses defended by Plato and Aristotle. The aesthetic experience of Vinciana painting is different. Such a distinction does not depend on fidelity to a supposed real model, nor on the anatomi...
