Depending on what you mean by embodied practices, my colleague Ellen Abrams just finished a great dissertation on masculinity and American mathematics in the first half of the 20th c. that fits this bill. See her article “An Inalienable Prerogative of a Liberated Spirit: Postulating American Mathematics.” British Journal for the History of Mathematics (2020): 1-21.

Dear All,

I’m wondering if you could point me to some references that treat the material and embodied practices — like writing, reading, publishing, lecturing — of people doing mathematics, symbolic logic, and calculation.

I’m interested particularly in the era *before* the widespread use of electronic computers.

Best wishes,

David
