Drawing from literary studies, philosophy and
the history of science, in this interdisciplinary
study Hanna Roman argues that the language
of Buffon’s Histoire naturelle(1749-1788) could
not be separated from the science it conveyed;
the language communicated nature’s vital
order, form and movement. In the Histoire
naturelle, the ability of language to embody and
communicate the living essence of nature grew
increasingly poignant as Buffon established his
hypothesis that the Earth, initially a molten
ball of fire, was dying as it slowly became
colder.
The author highlights Buffon’s ‘Epoques de
la nature’ (1778) in which he implied that to
save nature from cold death, people must learn
to create actual heat according to the model
provided by his lyrical, dynamic language,
the energy of which would transform into re-
warming a cooling globe.
In this way, Roman argues that Buffon’s
literary simulacrum of nature taught his readers
not only about the history of nature and its
laws, but also how to interact with nature
differently, transferring to them the skills
necessary to modify the surrounding world in
order to better fit the desires and dreams of
humanity. A new world could be more than
imagined - it could be engineered through
language.
Hanna Roman is an
Assistant Professor of French
at Dickinson College. She is
interested in the discourses
of scientific knowledge in
Enlightenment France, and
her new research focuses on
the languages of theology
and natural history in works
of eighteenth-century
geohistory.
