| dc.description | This analysis of the scientific and academic career of the Russian-Italian physicist
Gleb Wataghin, founder of the physics course at the University of Sa˜o Paulo, in the
richest state of Brazil, in 1934, brings to light elements present in the formation of
a scientific identity, which we characterize here as transnational. The methodological
recourse to transnationalism is a cornerstone of our analysis, insofar as it was itself an
integral part of Wataghin’s career, considering that he made foreign travel a systematic part of his approach and placed it at the disposal of his Brazilian students.
Thanks to his training as a physicist and his membership in the international scientific
community in the 1920s and ’30s, Wataghin brought to Brazil not just the latest topics
on the physics agenda in the Northern Hemisphere, but also contacts that later
enabled his students to spend time at institutions and laboratories run by renowned physicists. The scientific values and practices Wataghin transported to Brazil are
discussed, as is the way he combined them with the values held dear by the Sa˜o
Paulo elite, responsible for planning and funding the university, who saw modern
science as a symbol of erudition and a means by which to win back their political
influence in Brazil, which they had lost in 1930 with the rise to power of a centralizing
federal government. | |
