The distinction between basic and applied research was central to
twentieth-century science and policymaking, and if this framework
has been contested in recent years, it nonetheless remains
ubiquitous in both scientific and public discourse. Employing a
transnational, diachronic perspective informed by historical
semantics, this volume traces the conceptual history of the
basic–applied distinction from the nineteenth century to today,
taking stock of European developments alongside comparative case
studies from the United States and China. It shows how an older
dichotomy of pure and applied science was reconceived in response
to rapid scientific progress and then further transformed by the
geopolitical circumstances of the postwar era.

How does tacit knowledge inscribe itself into cultural and social
practices?As the established distinction between tacit and explicit
or discursive forms of knowledge does not explain this question,
the contributions in this volume reconstruct, describe, and analyze
the manifold processes by which the tacit reveals itself: They
focus, for example, on metaphors, feelings, and visualizations as
explications of the tacit as well as on processes of embodiment.
Taken together, they demonstrate that the tacit does not constitute
a single or unified knowledge complex, but has to be understood in
its differentiated and fragmented forms. In addition to scholarly
essays, the volume features interviews with Mark Johnson, Theodore
Schatzki, and Loic Wacquant.
