This book studies the circulation of social knowledge by focusing
on the reception of Niklas Luhmann's systems theory in the Hispanic
Americas. It presents a detailed analysis of knowledge circulation
from a science and technology studies perspective and shows that
theories need active involvement from scholars in the receiving
field in order to travel. As Holub has argued, the success of any
transplanted theory is the ability "on the part of advocates to
situate a foreign tradition in its new environment and to account
for the differences that are operative in the new settings."
