| Resumen en inglés | This essay explores the transnational turn in the history of science, arguing for its particular relevance for the twentieth century science in the Latin American context. A distinction is made between cross-national and transnational perspectives in the history of science, addressing key features of the transnational turn, such as the dismissal of national histories, the role of networks and supranational agencies as actors in the construction of knowledge, and a critical account of the idea of “circulation” which incorporates socio-anthropological concepts and geopolitical concerns. The essay also describes the specific conditions in which the transnational approach has developed in Latin America. It is further argued (if in a brief manner) that development programs and the construction of the Third World after World War II have had material and symbolic implications that are crucial for the current regional skepticism on national boundaries, and for a privileged situated knowledge produced by Latin American historians of science |
