How can one study the absence of knowledge, the voids, the
conscious and unconscious unknowns through history? Investigations
into late medieval and early modern practices of measuring, of risk
calculation, of ignorance within financial administrations, of
conceiving the docta ignorantia as well as the silence of the
illiterate are combined with contributions regarding knowledge gaps
within identification procedures and political decision-making,
with the emergence of consciously delimited blanks on geographical
maps, with ignorance as a factor embedded in iconographic programs,
in translation processes and the semantic potentials of reading.
Based on thorough archival analysis, these selected contributions
from conferences at Harvard and Paris are tightly framed by new
theoretical elaborations that have implications beyond these cases
and epochal focus. Contributors: Giovanni Ceccarelli, Taylor
Cowdery, Lucile Haguet, John T. Hamilton, Lucian Hoelscher, Moritz
Isenmann, Adam J. Kosto, Marie-Laure Legay, Andrew McKenzie-McHarg,
Fabrice Micallef, William T. OReilly, Eleonora Rohland, Mathias
Schmoeckel, Daniel L. Smail, Govind P. Sreenivasan, and Cornel
Zwierlein.
