Economies of Literature and Knowledge in Early Modern Europe: Change and Exchange: Crossroads of Knowledge in Early Modern Literature, cartea 2

Editat de Subha Mukherji, Dunstan Roberts, Rebecca Tomlin, George Oppitz-Trotman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 sep 2021
Placing ‘literature’ at the centre of Renaissance economic knowledge, this book offers a distinct intervention in the history of early modern epistemology. It is premised on the belief that early modern practices of change and exchange produced a range of epistemic shifts and crises, which, nonetheless, lacked a systematic vocabulary. These essays collectively tap into the imaginative kernel at the core of economic experience, to grasp and give expression to some of its more elusive experiential dimensions. The essays gathered here probe the early modern interface between imaginative and mercantile knowledge, between technologies of change in the field of commerce and transactions in the sphere of cultural production, and between forms of transaction and representation. In the process, they go beyond the specific interrelation of economic life and literary work to bring back into view the thresholds between economics on the one hand, and religious, legal and natural philosophical epistemologies on the other.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Placing ‘literature’ at the centre of Renaissance economic knowledge, this book
offers a distinct intervention in the history of early modern epistemology. This
book is premised on the belief that early modern practices of change and
exchange produced a range of epistemic shifts and crises, which, nonetheless,
lacked a systematic vocabulary. These essays collectively tap into the imaginative
kernel at the core of economic experience, to grasp and give expression to some
of its more elusive experiential dimensions. The essays gathered here probe the
early modern interface between imaginative and mercantile knowledge, between
technologies of change in the field of commerce and transactions in the sphere of
cultural production, and between forms of transaction and representation. In the
process, they go beyond the specific interrelation of economic life and literary
work to bring back into view the thresholds between economics on the one hand,
and religious, legal and natural philosophical epistemologies on the other.
