The talk will focus on Rhodes’ diamond-mines in Kimberley and his vineyards in the Western Cape while addressing issues of method. How is a technopolitical vision of an individual best assessed and described? How does an individual “see” a vision and then make it legible to key backers? To what extent does a visionary like Rhodes embody the visions of multiple individuals?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><pre><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>"The Subway Series" A Joint Colloquium Between Harvard History of Science and MIT Program in Science, Technology, and Society</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></pre></div></body></html>
