Description
Summary:This article conducts a comparative analysis of two journals: Quipu, created in 1984 by the Latin American Society for the History of Sciences and Technology in Mexico, published until 1994 and shortly relived between 1999 and 2000, and the Brazilian History of Science Journal, published since 1985 by the Brazilian Society for the History of Science and Technology. Both journals initiated in a period of major historiographical change. They gave shape to a set of historical arguments about the qualities and specificities of Latin American techniques and technologies and both contributed to the structuring of an epistemic community in the field.
