Abstract

It is about a study of Marie Curie Case under the sign of the : how an unequal conflict of Marie Curie in favor of the radioactivity was raised by the possibility of affirming this is scientific. This search focuses on the controversies surrounding the radioactivity between the years 1898 and 1911, which involved a sexual (and after nationalist) politics. In the midst of this set of power relations that made the human affairs and the production-management of things inseparable, I explore how these created a problematization to the contemporaries, unclasping a singular politics. This dissertation aims at replacing and extracting the selfevident character of the production of Marie Curie and radioactivity. Finally, I desire to display an acclimatization that corrupted both gender and science, producing Marie Curie as an icon of science history, and the radioactivity as an universal phenomenon. (AU)
