“…Melo (2017) aponta que o setor tem atraído um número crescente de fundos de investimentos e grandes companhias de tecnologia e empreendedores. Com isso, o setor agrícola está vivenciando um movimento que poderá se tornar uma das grandes ondas tecnológicas no futuro próximo (Walker et al, 2016).…”

Resumo Os efeitos da transformação digital vêm promovendo uma revolução na produção rural no Brasil nos últimos anos. Nesse contexto, espera-se que tal transformação reflita-se na performance e sustentabilidade do agronegócio. Este estudo propõe avaliar como se avolumou a produção científica sobre a temática da transformação digital, atinente ao agronegócio frutícola, no período 2010-2021, mediante um levantamento sistemático bibliográfico realizado na base eletrônica de dados da Web of Science. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como quali-quanti, com abordagem exploratória e descritiva. Os resultados, logrados com a tabulação dos dados, apontam, dentre outros achados, que a partir do ano de 2017 há uma tendência contínua de crescimento no número de publicações relacionadas à temática aqui pesquisada. Quanto ao mapeamento científico sob uma estrutura longitudinal, observou-se a comunicação entre os clusters Inovação e Fruticultura entre os anos de 2013 a 2017 e posteriormente, dos clusters Fruticultura e Transformação Digital entre os anos de 2017 e 2021. Tais resultados comprovam a ascensão da temática transformação digital como mecanismo inovador para o ecossistema empresarial do agronegócio frutícola.

“…Much more commonly, authors have sought to challenge the received view of the Scientific Revolution, though mostly without rejecting it altogether. The kinds of arguments such authors have put forward include: disputes over its definition and timing, or what it was that made it special or revolutionary (OR14); questions about what role was played in the Scientific Revolution by particular technical concepts, epistemological positions, or bodies of literature (OR15); critiques of ideological rhetoric that has emerged about science in the wake of the Scientific Revolution (OR16); a desire to see particular disciplines or practices included in the Scientific Revolution story (OR17); or a desire to radically revisit the Scientific Revolution story with a greater incorporation of the global, cultural, economic or social contexts in which it took place (OR18). The point for these authors is not to ask whether the Scientific Revolution happened, but how it happened, why, where, exactly when, and with whom.…”

What’s Wrong with Talking About the Scientific Revolution? Applying Lessons from History of Science to Applied Fields of Science Studies

Since the mid-twentieth century, the 'Scientific Revolution' has arguably occupied centre stage in most westerners', and many non-westerners', conceptions of science history. Yet among history of science specialists that position has been profoundly contested. Most radically, historians Andrew Cunningham and Perry Williams in 1993 proposed to demolish the prevailing 'big picture' which posited that the Scientific Revolution marked the origin of modern science. They proposed a new big picture in which science is seen as a distinctly modern, western phenomenon rather than a human universal, that it was invented in the Age of Revolutions 1760-1848, and that science be de-centred within the new big picture: treated as just one of many forms of human knowledge-seeking activity. Their paper is one of the most highly cited in the history of science field, and has the potential to transform the way that science educators, science communicators, science policy-makers and scientists view science. Yet the paper and historians' scholarly response to it are not well-known outside the history discipline. Here I attempt to bridge that disciplinary gap with a review of scholarly papers published 1994-2014 that cited Cunningham and Williams or otherwise discussed the Scientific Revolution, to gauge the extent of support for the old and new big pictures. I find that the old big picture is disintegrating and lacks active defenders, while many scholars support aspects of the new big picture. I discuss the significance of this for scholars in 'applied' fields of science studies such as education, communication and policy. Accordingly, the format of this paper is a review of the post-1993 literature citing Cunningham and Williams or discussing the Scientific Revolution, highlighting key points of agreement or disagreement with the old or new big pictures. At the core of this I review works from the history of science field. I also include papers from other disciplines, to identify additional perspectives that have a bearing on the matter. Methods While elements of the Cunningham and Williams thesis have been argued elsewhere (e.g. in a 1988 paper by Cunningham), I use the 1993 paper as a focal point for the review because of the considerable influence it has exerted within its field. Quantitatively, it is the most highly cited paper published in its journal, The British Journal for the History of Science, and one of the most highly cited papers ever in the history of science field. 1 A more qualitative measure of its influence was its inclusion in a 2003 historical reader on the Scientific Revolution, despite editor Marcus Hellyer

“…Galileo's mathematics enticed Mersenne too, since it explored novel questions without forcing him to challenge the accepted Aristotelian natural philosophy. 159 Nor did much of it require geometric brilliance. One area on which Mersenne fixed his attention was Galileo's law of free fall, which stated that the distance covered by a falling body in equal, successive time intervals is proportional to the square of the time elapsed since it began to fall.…”
