In the light of the globalization, (post-)modernization, social fragmentation, and economization of many of today's living contexts, local knowledge is receiving increasing attention in various sciences. Commonly, local knowledge indicates a counterpart to both rational forms of an explicit knowledge of facts and knowledge of universal validity. Local knowledge attempts to appreciate a more comprehensive view of people's skills, capabilities, experience, and sophistication. On the other hand, the reference to 'local' implies an idea of bounded applicability of knowledge in a specific environment. Beyond this scope of application, local knowledge can be acknowledged either as instrumental in order to achieve specific goals or as an intrinsic value in order to deal with social relations, solidarity, common values and norms accordingly. Social and spatial settings are influential for everybody's quality of life, personal identity, and political commitment - and local knowledge is the essential foundation in turning these settings into a vivid arena. This volume is a result of a two-day conference held in November 2013 in Salzburg, Austria, dedicated to bringing together researchers from different scientific disciplines, including sociology, philosophy, social geography, economics, history, interpersonal communication studies, cultural studies, and theology, in order to draw distinct trains of thought about local knowledge in a transdisciplinary fashion: the phenomenon, its epistemic and philosophical reflection, its methodological comprehension, and its practical application.

Pyke Koch neemt een bijzondere plek in binnen de Nederlandse kunstgeschiedenis. Als autodidact ontwikkelde hij zich verbluffend snel en in de jaren dertig was zijn naam definitief gevestigd als een van de meest vooraanstaande kunstenaars in Nederland. Dat hij echter gecharmeerd was van het Italiaans fascisme en aan het begin van de Tweede Wereldoorlog zelfs kort het nazisme verheerlijkte, werd hem na de oorlog zeer kwalijk genomen. Van die smet is zijn werk nooit helemaal afgekomen: ook vandaag de dag nog geldt Kochs reputatie als bedenkelijk.0In dit boek gaan vier auteurs in op het werk en het leven van Pyke Koch in de context van zijn tijd. Kleinzoon Andreas Koch herinnert zich zijn grootvader als een man met een haarscherpe esthetische blik. Kunsthistoricus Roman Koot gaat in op het vroege werk en beschrijft het culturele wereldje van schrijvers, dichters en schilders waarin Koch zich bewoog. Universitair hoofddocent Mieke Rijnders behandelt Kochs keuze voor het fascisme tegen de achtergrond van de algemenen politieke onvrede die in de jaren dertig heerste. Marja Bosma, conservator van het Centraal Museum, exploreert Kochs drijfveren en zijn diepe verlangen naar een ideale kunst. Exhibition: Centraal Museum, Utrecht, The Netherlands (18.11.2017-25.03.2018).

The term 'infrastructure' commonly refers to the partly naturally given, partly manmade constitutive conditions that affect, enable, and ensure our everyday lives. This concept is generally used in an economic sense and highlights the material and institutional facilities of our environment that can be summed up as the tangible means which our societies are based upon. Consequently, talking about 'intangible infrastructures' may appear to be a somewhat unusual concept. The term 'intangible' i...
