Really enjoying @zacendter.bsky.social & @jonasknatz.bsky.social's brilliant forum on "The Conceptual History of Technology" @jhideas.bsky.social . Fantastic stuff so far. My essay on ideas of invention in American patent law will come out later this fall in the series.

We put together what I think is a great reading list on histories of the future, but we will keep updating it until the fall, so please send me any suggestions, especially if you’re familiar with a region that isn’t yet well-represented here.

The new issue of the JHI includes a discussion of the lexicon project, “The Twentieth Century in Basic Concepts: A Dictionary of Historical Semantics in Germany,” by Ernst Müller, Barbara Picht, and Falko Schmieder. Access is free for the next few weeks on Project Muse: muse.jhu.edu/pub/56/artic...

A quote from the article: "After the disciplinary differentiation of the individual sciences, which has replaced philosophy as a universal discourse from the nineteenth century onward, and with the emergence of plural public spheres based on new media, knowledge has become splintered and fragmented, so that the forms and contexts of the production of meaning can only be explored in an interdisciplinary and historical-epistemologicai perspective."
