Dynamis: Acta Hispanica ad Medicinae Scientiarumque Historiam Illustrandam.
This article addresses the chemical terminology in Spain during the first half of the 19th century. Our main aim is to demonstrate that the history of terminology improves our understanding of the processes of negotiation, appropriation and resistance of local communities, and sheds new light on the relationship between scientific centres and peripheries. The main sources are Spanish chemistry textbooks published between 1788 and 1845. The discussion is organised around four themes: appropriation, controversies, novelties and resistance.
