Abstract
Esta tesis doctoral es una historia de la edición de publicaciones científicas y técnicas en España (1939-1966), con un énfasis especial en la producción colectiva de las publicaciones científicas. Considerando las actividades, contextos y procesos a través de los cuales las publicaciones científicas son producidas y distribuidas se busca reconstruir el campo editorial, yendo de los productos finales hacia su proceso de producción. Procediendo analíticamente en vez de secuencialmente, nuestra investigación abordará las interacciones entre actores, publicaciones y lugares, trabajando con representaciones, publicaciones y lecturas. Con ello trataremos de conocer cómo los textos fueron producidos en la cadena de producción editorial, donde los textos se relacionan con otros objetos y sujetos; diferentes agentes y organizaciones que desarrollan diferentes papeles en la producción, venta y distribución de publicaciones científicas en España durante la dictadura franquista. Este trabajo busca así ser de ayuda para comprender mejor el complejo conjunto de elementos que contribuyen a conformar los espacios diferenciados asociados al experto y al lego, analizándolo a través de las publicaciones y su materialidad, en el periodo concreto de la España de aquellos años. Trabajando con estas publicaciones –las verdaderas protagonistas de esta historia- no intentaremos evaluar la veracidad de sus contenidos sino que las utilizaremos para escribir una historia de la edición de contenidos científicos y técnicos desde el punto de vista de los materiales que condicionan y conforman el trabajo editorial. Metodológicamente intentaremos alcanzar una descripción completa y multidimensional de las instituciones, actores, objetos y prácticas en relación con la producción, venta y distribución de publicaciones científicas en España. Con documentos tomados de archivos de casas editoriales y a través de los programas editoriales del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) intentaremos aportar algunas claves para entender la historia de los condicionantes y hábitos que gobiernan la producción, distribución y venta de ediciones científicas y técnicas en un contexto dictatorial. Un conocimiento que puede ser de utilidad para reconstruir no sólo el conocimiento legitimado sino también sus lugares, actores y productos...
This dissertation is a history of science and technology publishing in Spain (1939-1966) with a special emphasis on the collective production of the scientific publications. Considering activities, contexts and processes through which scientific literature is produced and distributed our goal is to reconstruct the publishing field going from final products to production. Proceeding analytically rather than sequentially our research concerned the interactions between actors, publications and places, working with representations, print culture and readership. Therefore, we intend to know how the texts were produced in the publishing chain, where the texts relate to other objects and players, different agents and organizations that perform different roles in the production, sale and distribution of scientific literature in Spain during the last dictatorship. It can be of help for understanding the complex set of elements that contribute to the conformation of different spaces for the expert and the laymen, analyzed through the publications and their materiality, in the concrete time and social terrain of Spain during those years. Working with publications –the main actors in this story- we do not attempt to evaluate the truth of their claims, instead, we use them to write the history of scientific publishing from the viewpoint of the materials that constrain and enable publishers work. Methodologically, we intend to achieve a multidimensional description of events and historical developments of institutions, actors, objects, and practices dealing with the production, sale and distribution of scientific literature in Spain. With information taken from publishing houseśrecords and the publishing programmes of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) we intend to provide some information for understanding the history of the conditions and habits that governed the production and reception of science and technology literature in a dictatorial context. Likewise, this knowledge can be valuable for reconstructing not only the legitimated scientific knowledge but also its places, actors and products...
