Threatened Knowledge discusses the practices of knowing, not-knowing, and not wanting to know from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century.In times of "fake news", processes of forgetting and practices of non-knowledge have sparked the interest of historical and sociological research. The common ground between all the contributions in this volume is the assumption that knowledge does not simply increase over time and thus supplant phases of not-knowing. Moreover, the contributions show that knowing and not-knowing function in very similar ways, which means they can be analysed along similar methodological lines. Given the implied juxtaposition between emotions and rational thinking, the role of emotions in the process of knowledge production has often been trivialized in more traditional approaches to the subject. Through a broad geographical and chronological approach, spanning from prognostic texts in the Carolingian period to stock market speculation in early-twentieth-century United States, this volume demonstrates the important role of emotions in the history of science.By bringing together cultural historians of knowledge, emotions, finance, and global intellectual history, Threatened Knowledge is a useful tool for all students and scholars of the history of knowledge and science on a global scale.

Religion und Wissen waren im vormodernen Europa keine Gegensätze. Sie befruchteten sich vielmehr gegenseitig; und ihr komplexes Zusammenwirken hat kraftvoll dazu beigetragen, dass sich in Europa jene spezifische Wissensgesellschaft ausbildete, die im Selbstverständnis der westlichen Moderne bis heute einen prominenten Platz einnimmt. Der Band untersucht, wie im Laufe der Jahrhunderte die Auseinandersetzung mit drei zentralen Themen der Bibel neue Wissensbestände und Formen des Wissens hervorgebracht hat. Die Autorinnen und Autoren gehen aus von den biblischen Aussagen zur Schöpfung, zur Jungfräulichkeit und Mutterschaft Mariens und zur Passion Christi. Sie beobachten, wie aus der immer wieder neuen Aktualisierung und Aneignung dieser Aussagen in Texten, in Bildern und in Ritualen neues Wissen über die Welt entstand - ein Wissen, das Lebensbereiche auch fern der Religion strukturieren konnte und schließlich auch den Geltungsanspruch des Bibeltextes selbst in Frage stellte.
