As part of the Measuring the Earth project the Art of Judgment research cluster is glad to announce its new discussion group, which will explore new ways to frame the history of geodesy and, in general, representations of the globe and the geosphere in an interdisciplinary perspective.

In this meeting, we will discuss the following texts

• Peter Galison and Lorraine Daston, “Scientific Coordination as Ethos and Epistemology,” in Theatrum Scientiarum - English Edition, Volume 2, Instruments in Art and Science, ed. Helmar Schramm, Ludger Schwarte, and Jan Lazardzig (Berlin, Boston: De Gruyter, 2008).
• Madeleine Herren, “Governmental Internationalism and the Beginning of a New World Order in the Late Nineteenth Century,” in The Mechanics of Internationalism : Culture, Society, and Politics from the 1840s to the First World War, ed. Martin H. Geyer and Johannes Paulmann (New York: Oxford University Press, 2001), 121–44.
