Book Synopsis Threatened Knowledge by : Renate Dürr
Download or read book Threatened Knowledge written by Renate Dürr and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Threatened Knowledge discusses the practices of knowing, not-knowing, and not wanting to know from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. In times of "fake news", processes of forgetting and practices of non-knowledge have sparked the interest of historical and sociological research. The common ground between all the contributions in this volume is the assumption that knowledge does not simply increase over time and thus supplant phases of not-knowing. Moreover, the contributions show that knowing and not-knowing function in very similar ways, which means they can be analysed along similar methodological lines. Given the implied juxtaposition between emotions and rational thinking, the role of emotions in the process of knowledge production has often been trivialized in more traditional approaches to the subject. Through a broad geographical and chronological approach, spanning from prognostic texts in the Carolingian period to stock market speculation in early-twentieth-century United States, this volume demonstrates the important role of emotions in the history of science. By bringing together cultural historians of knowledge, emotions, finance, and global intellectual history, Threatened Knowledge is a useful tool for all students and scholars of the history of knowledge and science on a global scale.
Book Synopsis Making the Medieval Relevant by : Chris Jones
Download or read book Making the Medieval Relevant written by Chris Jones and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When scholars discuss the medieval past, the temptation is to become immersed there, to deepen our appreciation of the nuances of the medieval sources through debate about their meaning. But the past informs the present in a myriad of ways and medievalists can, and should, use their research to address the concerns and interests of contemporary society. This volume presents a number of carefully commissioned essays that demonstrate the fertility and originality of recent work in Medieval Studies. Above all, they have been selected for relevance. Most contributors are in the earlier stages of their careers and their approaches clearly reflect how interdisciplinary methodologies applied to Medieval Studies have potential repercussions and value far beyond the boundaries of the Middles Ages. These chapters are powerful demonstrations of the value of medieval research to our own times, both in terms of providing answers to some of the specific questions facing humanity today and in terms of much broader considerations. Taken together, the research presented here also provides readers with confidence in the fact that Medieval Studies cannot be neglected without a great loss to the understanding of what it means to be human.
Book Synopsis Envisioning the Christian Society by : Mattias Skat Sommer
Download or read book Envisioning the Christian Society written by Mattias Skat Sommer and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Niels Hemmingsen (1513-1600) is one of the most influential Danish theologians in history. As a professor at the University of Copenhagen, Hemmingsen played an important role in moulding Danish society according to his understanding of Lutheranism during the second half of the sixteenth century. Drawing on sociology of knowledge, cultural memory, and confessional culture, Mattias Skat Sommer examines Hemmingsen's works and life in political and theological contexts. By studying Hemmingsen's role in forming a discourse of social interaction, the author argues that Hemmingsen was the leading agent in shaping post-Reformation Danish confessionalization. In doing so, Sommer emphasises the fluid boundaries of the Danish Reformation and adjusts two prominent theoretical frameworks discussed in contemporary research on early modern Europe, namely those of confessionalization and confessional culture.
Book Synopsis History of Intellectual Culture 1/2022 by : Charlotte A. Lerg
Download or read book History of Intellectual Culture 1/2022 written by Charlotte A. Lerg and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-10-24 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With concepts of participation discussed in multiple disciplines from media studies to anthropology, from political sciences to sociology, the first issue of the new yearbook History of Intellectual Culture (HIC) dedicates a thematic section to the way knowledge can and arguably must be conceptualized as "participatory". Introducing and exploring "participatory knowledge", the volume aims to draw attention to the potential of looking at knowledge formation and circulation through a new lens and to open a dialogue about how and what concepts and theories of participation can contribute to the history of knowledge. By asking who gets to participate in defining what counts as knowledge and in deciding whose knowledge is circulated, modes of participation enter into the examination of knowledge on various levels and within multiple cultural contexts. The articles in this volume attest to the great variety of approaches, contexts, and interpretations of "participatory knowledge", from the sociological projects of the Frankfurt School to the Uppsala-based Institute for Race Biology, from the Argentinian National Folklore Survey to current hashtag activism and Covid-19-archive projects. HIC sees knowledge as rooted in social and political structures, determined by modes of transfer and produced in collaborative processes. The notion of "participatory knowledge" highlights in a compelling way how knowledge is rooted in cultural practices and social configurations.
Book Synopsis Die Kartause als Text-Raum mittelalterlicher Mystik-Rezeption by : Gilbert Fournier
Download or read book Die Kartause als Text-Raum mittelalterlicher Mystik-Rezeption written by Gilbert Fournier and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Kartäusern und Mystik wird im vorliegenden Band auf der Basis der Überlieferung jener ‚mystischen‘ Bücher behandelt, die in einzelnen Kartausen faktisch vorhanden waren. Was dabei interessiert, ist der Umgang mit diesen Büchern im Kontext der für den Orden bzw. für einzelne Kartausen spezifischen Wissensdiskurse, Schreibpraktiken und Überlieferungskonstellationen. Die Beiträge decken mit theologia mystica, revelationes und meditationes gerade jene Bereiche ab, die auch für die moderne Diskussion um die Definition eines ‚mystischen‘ Textcorpus relevant sind.
Book Synopsis Institutionality by : Yannik Porsché
Download or read book Institutionality written by Yannik Porsché and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-02 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book brings together humanities and social sciences scholars from the various disciplines at the nexus of discourse studies and ethnography to reflect on questions of institutional practices and their political concerns. Institutional order plays an important role in structuring power relations in society. Yet, contrary to common understandings of structure, institutional orders are far from fixed or stable. They constantly change, and they are resisted and reimagined by social actors. The 20 studies collected in this edited volume develop the notion of institutionality as an overarching perspective to explore how institutional actors and institutional practices order and reorder power in societies across the globe. Thereby the chapters pay special attention to the fluidity, volatility, fragility, and ambiguity of order, and consequently to its claims to authority. Employing a broad range of discourse analytic and ethnographic methodologies, the studies show how institutions are discursively and materially constructed, defined, represented and how they are made relevant and become powerful – or how they are resisted, transformed or lose significance – in interaction. Readers will obtain nuanced insights into ways in which differently positioned social actors engage in struggles about how institutions can be imagined and enacted across several domains, such as workplace interactions, architecture, mass-media representations or organisational publicity. This book will be of interest to readers in Applied Linguistics, Discourse and Society, Critical Discourse Analysis, Political Theory and Communication Studies.
Book Synopsis Praktiken der Frühen Neuzeit by : Arndt Brendecke
Download or read book Praktiken der Frühen Neuzeit written by Arndt Brendecke and published by Böhlau Verlag Köln Weimar. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieser Band reagiert auf das wachsende Interesse an historischen Praktiken. Dabei kommen alte historiographische Tugenden zur Anwendung, denn Geschichtsschreibung ist von ihren Anfängen an stark an Handlungen und Handlungsvollzügen interessiert, an Fakten und ihrer Darstellung. Zugleich muss jedoch neuen methodischen Reflexionen Raum gegeben werden, denn es reicht nicht mehr aus, "Taten" aus Ideen oder individuellen Entscheidungen abzuleiten. Praktiken verfügen über eine Eigenlogik und damit auch über eine eigene Geschichte. Diese zu erschließen, nahm sich die Arbeitsgemeinschaft Frühe Neuzeit in ihrer zehnten Tagung vor. Die wichtigsten Ergebnisse sind in diesem Band versammelt.
Book Synopsis On the Threshold of Knowing by : Lucia Rainer
Download or read book On the Threshold of Knowing written by Lucia Rainer and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2017-04-30 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this in-depth analysis of artistic and academic lectures and performances, Lucia Rainer features an innovative conceptual and methodological tool that augments Goffman's Frame Analysis with a praxeological perspective. This way, she gives profound insight into how knowledge - as a practice and a concept - is associated with clarity rather than truth. Based on four case studies - including John Cage's unpublished and unabridged audio recording of Lecture on Nothing - the study explores how the concept of lecture performances, which adheres to two frames that never entirely blend, provides a space to (re-)negotiate the artistic-academic relationship.
Book Synopsis Beyond Science and Empire by : Matheus Alves Duarte da Silva
Download or read book Beyond Science and Empire written by Matheus Alves Duarte da Silva and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-23 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through ten case studies by international specialists, this book investigates the circulation and production of scientific knowledge between 1750 and 1945 in the fields of agriculture, astronomy, botany, cartography, medicine, statistics, and zoology. In this period, most of the world was under some form of imperial control, while science emerged as a discrete field of activity. What was the relationship between empire and science? Was science just an instrument for imperial domination? While such guiding questions place the book in the tradition of science and empire studies, it offers a fresh perspective in dialogue with global history and circulatory approaches. The book demonstrates, not by theoretical discourse but through detailed historical case studies, that the adoption of a global scale of analysis or an emphasis on circulatory processes does not entail analytical vagueness, diffusionism in disguise, or complacency with imperialism. The chapters show scientific knowledge emerging from the actions of little-known individuals moving across several Empires—European, Asian, and South American alike—in unanticipated places and institutions, and through complex processes of exchange, competition, collaboration, and circulation of knowledge. The book will interest scholars and undergraduate and graduate students concerned with the connections between the history of science, imperial history, and global history.

Book Synopsis History, Space and Place by : Susanne Rau
Download or read book History, Space and Place written by Susanne Rau and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spaces, too, have a history. And history always takes place in spaces. But what do historians mean when they use the word "spaces"? And how can spaces be historically investigated? Susanne Rau provides a survey of the history of Western concepts of space, opens up interdisciplinary approaches to the phenomenon of space in fields ranging from physics and geography to philosophy and sociology, and explains how historical spatial analysis can be methodologically and conceptually conceived and carried out in practice. The case studies presented in the book come from the fields of urban history, the history of trade, and global history including the history of cartography, but its analysis is equally relevant to other fields of inquiry. This book offers the first comprehensive introduction to the theory and methodology of historical spatial analysis. Supported by Open Access funds of the University of Erfurt
Book Synopsis Interkulturelle Kommunikation im globalen Bildungsraum by : Vasiliy Kovalev
Download or read book Interkulturelle Kommunikation im globalen Bildungsraum written by Vasiliy Kovalev and published by Anchor Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der vorliegende Sammelband ist dem Thema der Interkulturalität gewidmet und enthält Beiträge in englischer, deutscher und russischer Sprache. Vor dem Hintergrund der Globalisierung kommt dem Thema ‚Interkulturelle Kommunikation‘ eine zentrale Bedeutung zu: Durch Phänomene wie die globale Mobilität und Arbeitsteilung, zunehmende Reisefreiheit sowie die Entwicklung neuer Kommunikationstechnologien kommt es zu immer mehr Kontakten zwischen Personen unterschiedlicher Kulturen. Auswirkungen hat das auch auf den Arbeitsmarkt, der von Führungskräften zunehmend interkulturelle Kompetenzen und Kommunikationsfähigkeit fordert. Aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven diskutieren die Autoren dieses Bandes die Bedeutung von interkultureller Kommunikation für ihre jeweiligen Disziplinen. Dem Leser wird so ein multiperspektivischer Einblick in den Diskurs um Interkulturalität ermöglicht. This anthology adresses the topic of interculturality and, therefore, includes articles in English, German and Russian. In the context of the ongoing globalization, intercultural communication becomes increasingly important: global mobility and division of labour, free travelling combined with new communication technologies encourages exchange between people from different cultures. This requires intercultural competence and communication skills not only in private contexts but on the labour market as well. From different points of view the authors of this book discuss the relevance of intercultural communication. By showing how different disciplines deal with this topic the book gives the reader a multiperspective insight on the discourse of interculturality.
Book Synopsis Geographies of the University by : Peter Meusburger

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access volume raises awareness of the histories, geographies, and practices of universities and analyzes their role as key actors in today’s global knowledge economy. Universities are centers of research, teaching, and expertise with significant economic, social, and cultural impacts at different geographical scales. Scholars from a variety of disciplines and countries offer original analyses and discussions along five main themes: historical perspectives on the university as a site of knowledge production, cultural encounter, and political interest; institutional perspectives on university governance and the creation of innovative environments; relationships between universities and the city; the impact of universities on national and regional economies and cultures; and the processes of internationalization through student mobility, the creation of education hubs, and global regionalism in higher education.

Download or read book Prekäres Wissen written by Kristin Merle and published by Evangelische Verlagsanstalt. This book was released on 2024-02-23 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welche kritischen Analysen christlich-religiöser Symbole und kirchlicher Praxis sind nötig, um kulturelle Stereotype und hegemoniale Vorstellungen freizulegen? Inwiefern lassen sich postkoloniale und dekolonialisierende, aber auch rekolonialisierende Praktiken im Kontext des Religiösen und der Kirchen identifizieren? Mit diesen Fragen befassen sich die in diesem Band vorliegenden Beiträge. Versammelt sind theoretische Überlegungen wie empirische und historische Fallstudien im Zusammenhang von Problemstellungen und Konzepten postkolonialer Theorien. Es zeigt sich: Wissen ist prekär. In den vielschichtigen Zusammenhängen seines Erwerbs wie seiner Organisation geht es immer um Praktiken der Legitimierung, Sanktionierung und Priorisierung und damit um die Gestaltung von Machtverhältnissen.
