Provides an accessible summary of where the field is at, perfect
for researchers and upper level students of the history of
knowledge. At the end of each chapter are suggestions for related
and complementary chapters within the book, to ensure students can
see how the examples related to one another and the comparison's
made in the volume. The volume offers a broad inclusive view of
knowledge practices and all the chapters offer a praxeological
approach to their sources. Threatened Knowledge enables researchers
and students to understand how actors in different historical
periods and regions of the world describe the order in which they
lived, how they defined an order worth preserving, and when a
specific order lost its function the role the actors'
self-conception took. The chapters cover a range of examples from
Carolingian Europe and the British Commonwealth to single cities
like Cairo or even share brokers' halls in America around 1900.
Providing students with a useful range of example to draw upon but
also the tools to conduct their own research into other centres of
knowledge.
