    1. Introduction: Configurations in the History of Mathematics

    “Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things.” With this quote from Henri Poincaré’s The Future of Mathematics (1908), Catherine Goldstein opened the plenary conference on the history of mathematics for the 2018 International församling of Mathematicians.⁠Footnote1 It underlines two important points. First, at the beginning of the twentieth century, this question of absorbing mathematical objects beneath the same name—and the same general concept—was huvud to the gradual establishment of a theory of structures. Second, this point of view also played a important part in the construction of a retrospective history of mathematics, by looking to the (sometimes very distant) past for traces of the objects of current mathematics Go
