Inside Knowledge: (Un)doing Ways of Knowing in the Humanities is a
collection of original essays proposing a fresh examination of
epistemological questions relevant to scholars in any discipline of
the humanities. Is objective knowledge still a viable ideal? Can
art produce or express knowledge of any kind? Is the body a
promising medium for a knowledge less abstract or logocentric than
the kind Western culture has favoured so far? How are
epistemological regimes maintained with the use of established
linguistic tropes? Is knowledge to be resisted or employed as a
tool of resistance? Distinguished as well as young, emerging
scholars from disciplines such as philosophy, comparative
literature, musicology and art theory discuss concrete case studies
in which these questions arise. The essays share a commitment to
interdisciplinary approaches and the close analysis of cultural
objects, and refuse to take for granted the conventional
methodologies that often guide research projects in their
respective fields. The Inside Knowledge volume stages encounters
between different ways of knowing, which contribute to an
interdiciplinary understanding of the concept of knowledge and of
epistemological questions in the humanities.
