Resumo: | The enduring link which exists between industry and science as we know it today only began to be established in the middle of the 19th century. In this article I argue that the establishment of this link occurred by means of a radical change in the very way of conceiving scientific activity. Thus, I show what was the new conception of scientific activity that appeared in the middle of the 19th century and ask how it came to be established. I suggest that the answer lies in the interweaving of two activities that did not exist until the 19th century: the systematic work of the laboratories, which only gained an institutional dimension in the 1830s, and the exploitation of coal tar for industrial goals, which only started in 1856. |

Neste artigo, argumento que o estabelecimento deste vínculo se deu por meio de uma alteração radical do próprio modo de conceber a atividade científica. Trata-se, então, de mostrar qual foi a nova concepção de atividade científica surgida em meados do século XIX e como ela veio a se estabelecer. Sugiro que a resposta está no entrelaçamento de duas atividades inexistentes até o século XIX: a do trabalho sistemático dos laboratórios, que só ganhou dimensão institucional na década de 1830, e a da exploração do alcatrão mineral para fins industriais, que só teve início em 1856.Departamento de Sociologia - UnB/SOL2020-09-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/sociedade/article/view/2114510.1590/s0102-6992-202035020006Sociedade e Estado; Vol. 35 No. 02 (2020); 501-524Sociedade e Estado; Vol. 35 Núm. 02 (2020); 501-524Sociedade e Estado; v. 35 n. 02 (2020); 501-5241980-54620102-6992reponame:Sociedade e Estadoinstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/sociedade/article/view/21145/27556Copyright (c) 2020 Sociedade e Estadoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Freitas, Renan Springer2020-09-09T21:22:21Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/21145Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/sociedade/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/sociedade/oaiportaldeperiodicos@bce.unb.br||revistasol@unb.br1980-54620102-6992opendoar:2020-09-09T21:22:21Sociedade e Estado - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false |
