- Abstract
- This paper addresses the question of the intertwining of practice
and passion in scientific work, considering passion as a collective attachment
to the subjects and objects of knowledge in an epistemic community. The
paper draws on a research program on Renato Caccioppoli (1904-59),
the famous Italian mathematician, and the group of mathematicians
he used to work with, showing the use of sociology of attachment in the
description of the link between practice, passion and knowledge. The
research followed a qualitative methodology and focused on interviews
and documents (letters, books, movies analysis, newspapers, articles)
on historical and contemporary accounts of schools of mathematics and
epistemic communities. This paper unfolds in three parts: a brief focus
on the theoretical framework of the research; the analyses of the practices
for mobilizing passion used by the mathematicians emerging from the
research program; the discussion of the relevance of our first findings and
the indication of future directions for the research (literal)
