Abstract

This article recapitulates the various historiographical discussions which have been taking place within STEP (Science and Technology in the European Periphery) since its foundation in 1999. The main aim of these discussions has been to historisize the notion of ‘European science’ and bring to the surface the heterogeneity of the sciences within the region historically called Europe. By emphasizing the notion of appropriation of ideas and practices by the various localities, the STEP discussions have strongly criticized the diffusionist model and have pointed out the limits of its applicability. Furthermore, the essay discusses the new themes and approaches articulated in the articles of two special issues of Nuncius (Nations, Science, Identities: Historiography of science in the European periphery) and Centaurus (Making the Paper: Science and Technology in Spanish, Greek and Danish Newspapers around 1900).
