The first half of the book focuses on the historical modeling of the relation between pleasure and knowledge by examining a history of scientific rationality and its relation to the formation of the modern scientist's subjectivity. Relying on Foucault's history of sexuality, the author hypothesizes that Galileo's pendulum, as an extension of mathematics and the body, must have been sexualized by schemes of historical representation to the same extent that such schemes were rationalized by Galileo. The second half of the book explores the problems of scientific methodology and attempts to return the body in an explicit way to scientific practice. Ultimately, Galileo's Pendulum offers a discursive method and praxis for resexualizing the history of Galilean science. 410 0$aSUNY Series in Science, Technology, and Society 606 $aScience$xMethodology 606 $aEthnomethodology 606 $aPendulum 615 0$aScience$xMethodology. 615 0$aEthnomethodology. 615 0$aPendulum. 676 $a501 700 $aBjelic?$b Dus?an I$0781384 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816882103321 996 $aGalileo's pendulum$93960321 997 $aUNINA
