The Politics of Knowledge.

Editat de Patrick Baert, Fernando Domínguez Rubio
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 mar 2013
Social scientists often refer to contemporary advanced societies as ‘knowledge societies’, which indicates the extent to which ‘science’, ‘knowledge’ and ‘knowledge production’ have become fundamental phenomena in Western societies and central concerns for the social sciences. This book aims to investigate the political dimension of this production and validation of knowledge.
In studying the relationship between knowledge and politics, this book provides a novel perspective on current debates about ‘knowledge societies’, and offers an interdisciplinary agenda for future research. It addresses four fundamental aspects of the relation between knowledge and politics:
• the ways in which the nature of the knowledge we produce affects the nature of political activity
• how the production of knowledge calls into question fundamental political categories
• how the production of knowledge is governed and managed
• how the new technologies of knowledge produce new forms of political action.
This book will be of interest to students of sociology, political science, cultural studies and science and technology studies.

Descriere

This volume explores how the relation between knowledge and the political is developing in the rapidly evolving context of 'knowledge societies'. By analysing how the traditional boundaries and categories of the political are being redefined in the age of communication technologies and information economies, this monograph provides a novel perspective on current debates about 'knowledge societies'.
