Det var med Stockholmskonferensen 1972 som världens uppmärksamhet för första gången på allvar riktades mot vår hotade livsmiljö. För den svenska allmänheten var problematiken dock ganska välkänd. I press och etermedier var miljöfrågorna ständigt närvarande. Men bara fem år tidigare, 1967, hade läget varit annorlunda. Då betraktades det inte alls som en självklarhet att människan var i färd med att förstöra sin egen planet. Men vem eller vilka var det som satte bollen i rullning, började ställa frågor och förflytta perspektiven? Historikern David Larsson Heidenblad belyser händelserna som på kort tid orsakade ett radikalt skifte. Den gröna vändningen åren kring 1970 har fått stora efterverkningar inom en mängd områden. Men hur gick det egentligen till? Vad var det som gjorde att människor fick upp ögonen för miljökrisen, och vilken betydelse har denna historia för oss i dag? Läsaren får nya och viktiga svar på frågor som angår oss alla.

Histories of Knowledge in Postwar Scandinavia uses case studies to explore how knowledge circulated in the different public arenas that shaped politics, economics and cultural life in and across postwar Scandinavia, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. This book focuses on a period when the term "knowledge society" was coined and rapidly found traction. In Scandinavia, society's relationship to rational forms of knowledge became vital to the self-understanding and political ambitions of the era. Taking advantage of contemporary discussions about the circulation, arenas, forms, applications and actors of knowledge, contributors examine various forms of knowledge - economic, environmental, humanistic, religious, political, and sexual - that provide insight into the making and functioning of postwar Scandinavian societies and offer innovative studies that contribute to the development of the history of knowledge at large. The concentration on knowledge rather than the welfare state, the Cold War or the new social and political movements, which to date have attracted the lion's share of scholarly attention, ensures the book makes a historiographical intervention in postwar Scandinavian historiography. Offering a stimulating point of departure for those interested in the history of knowledge and the circulation of knowledge, this is a vital resource for students and scholars of postwar Scandinavia that provides fresh perspectives and new methodologies for exploration.

This Element provides a pedagogical overview of the history of knowledge, including its main currents, distinguishing ideas, and key concepts. However, it is not primarily a state-of-the-art overview but rather an argumentative contribution that seeks to push the field in a certain direction - towards studying knowledge in society and knowledge in people's lives. Hence, the history of knowledge envisioned by the authors is not a rebranding of the history of science and intellectual history, but rather a reinvigoration of social and cultural history. This implies that many different forms of knowledge should be objects of study. By drawing on ongoing research from all across the world dealing with different time periods and problems, the authors demonstrate that the history of knowledge can enrich our understanding of past societies. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
