The second issue of the yearbook History of Intellectual Culture
(HIC) dedicates a thematic section to modes of publication. This
volume addresses recent advances in publication studies and
stresses the cultural formation of knowledge. By exploring and
analyzing layers of presenting, sharing, and circulating knowledge,
we invite readers to critically engage with questions of media uses
and publishing practices and structures, both historically and in
our contemporary digital age. The articles in this volume attest to
the great variety of publication modes and perspectives, from the
potential and limits of digitizing newspapers such as the New York
Times to questions of positionality in building and using
Wikipedia, from translation policies and female participation to
the genre of university histories.
Historical actors are as central to the history of knowledge as to
all historical scholarship. Every country, every era has its
biographies of eminent scientists, intellectuals, and educational
reformers. Yet the theoretical currents that have left their mark
on the historical and sociological studies of knowledge since the
1960s have emphasized structures over actors, collectives over
individuals. By contrast, Knowledge Actors stresses the importance
of historical actors and re-engages with their actions from fresh
perspectives. The objective of this volume is thus to foster a
larger discussion among historians of knowledge about the role of
knowledge actors. Do we want individuals and networks to take
centre stage in our research narratives? And if so, which ones do
we want to highlight and how are we to conduct our research? What
are the potential pitfalls of pursuing that actor-centric
trajectory? This the third volume in a trilogy about the history of
knowledge from the Lund Centre for the History of Knowledge (LUCK).
