Résumé
The Prince and the Virtuosi : Scientific Etiquette in Seventeenth-Century Europe. Moving from Norbert Elias' analysis the role etiquette in the development of court society and political absolutism, I argue that scientific subjectivities and authority were also constructed through etiquette-based processes - processes that allowed for the development of social figurations of increasingly interdependent scientific practitioners. Using examples drawn from the history of the Accademia del Cimento, the Royal Society, and the Académie Royale des Sciences, this essay discusses how different degrees of princely involvement in these academies may account for the relative similarities and differences between courtly etiquette and the protocols of professional sociability of the early scientific institutions.
