Abstract

"Democracy and the Discourse of Relevance is set against the backdrop of the spread of neoliberal ideas and reforms since the 1980s, accepting also that these ideas are rooted in a longer history. It focuses on how neoliberalism has worked to transform the university sector and the academic profession. In particular, it examines how understandings of, and control over, what constitutes relevant knowledge have changed. Taken as a whole, these changes have sought to reorient universities and academics towards economic development in various ways. This includes the installation of strategies for how institutions and academics achieve recognition and status within the academy, the privatisation of educational services and the downgrading of the value of public higher education, as well as a steady shift away from the public funding for universities. Research universities are increasingly adopting a user- and market-oriented model, with an emphasis on meeting corporate demands, the privileging of short-term research, and a strong tendency to view utility, and the potential to sell intellectual property for profit, as primary criteria for determining the relevance of academic knowledge..."

Abstract

Kulturgeschichtliche Ansätze zur Erforschung diplomatischer Akteure und Strukturen in der Vormoderne haben aktuell zu Recht Konjunktur. Sie ermöglichen neue thematische Zugänge ebenso wie erhebliche Perspektiverweiterungen. Im Rahmen einer Alltags- und neueren Kulturgeschichte der Diplomatie rückten dabei jüngst lebensweltliche Erfahrungen, mentale Prägungen, soziale und zeremonielle Praktiken diplomatischer Akteure sowie Probleme interkultureller Kommunikation in den Fokus des Forschungsinteresses. Wegweisende Studien folgen hier einem semiotisch-interaktionistischen Kulturverständnis. Dennoch wurden frühneuzeitliche diplomatische Wissenskulturen mit der doppelten Perspektivierung, die ein solcher Zugriff erfordert, einerseits im Hinblick auf kulturelle Prägungen der Akteure und andererseits auf ihre Rolle bei der Wissensproduktion, -transformation und -zirkulation, bislang noch nicht systematisch erforscht. Der vorliegende Band versucht, erste Ansätze und Wege zur Erforschung dieses Problemfeldes aufzuzeigen. Er nähert sich dem Thema anhand von Höfen, Friedenskongressen und Ständeversammlungen (insbesondere Reichstagen) als zentralen Erfahrungsräumen und Orten der Wissensproduktion frühneuzeitlicher Diplomatie.

Abstract

Interviews are omnipresent in scholarship and public discourses. They play a crucial role in various spheres, from collecting research data to providing persons in the public eye a platform in print and online media. Interviews do not only capture a dialogue; they provide a framework in which dialogue gets staged. As such a framework, the interview protocols experiential knowledge and personal experience in certain ways, according interlocutors different degrees of authority to speak. The volume contributes state-of-the-art research on what conclusions can be drawn from these and further reflections for a general assessment of the interview as method and form; it offers fundamental conceptualizations of the interview as a structured and mediated site of knowledge production. Theoreticians and practitioners assembled here conceptualize the interview from perspectives in different fields of the humanities and social sciences such as linguistics, literary and cultural studies, musicology, psychology, and philosophy.

Abstract

Der Band zeigt für die Wissensdomäne Ökonomie, dass Bilder eine zentrale Ausdrucksressource zur Konstruktion von Wissen darstellen und sie in sprach-, literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Analysen Rückschlüsse auf ihren historischen und diskursiven Kontext zulassen. Die Beiträge fragen nach diskursiv geprägten Bildinventaren, nach medienspezifischen Text-Bild-Relationen und nach domänentypischen Zurichtungen von Bildern. Dabei werden drei Perspektiven auf die Thematisierung ökonomischer Zusammenhänge in Bildmedien eingenommen:1. Bei der ersten Perspektive steht die Frage nach der Wahrnehmung der Wirtschaft durch die Bildmedien im Fokus. Beiträge, die diesen Blickwinkel einnehmen konzentrieren sich auf die mediale Darstellung der Ökonomie als gesellschaftliche Wissensdomäne.2. Häufig wird der Begriff Ökonomie entgrenzt und sprachlich auf weitere Bereiche übertragen. Untersucht wird, auf welche Weise ökonomische Konzepte in andere Bereiche eingehen und welche Relevanz das ökonomische Vokabular in anderen Bereichen entfaltet.3. Die dritte Perspektive beschäftigt sich damit, welche Theorien der Wirtschaftswissenschaften in Bildmedien aufgegriffen werden und welche (Meta-)Aussagen Medien über die Ökonomik machen. This volume demonstrates that pictures are a central communicative resource for constructing knowledge in economics. By examining discursively structured inventories of images, media-specific relations between text and image, and domain-typical ways of processing images, the essays in this volume draw conclusions about the historical and discursive context of pictures, harnessing perspectives from linguistic, literary, and cultural studies.

Abstract

Interdisciplinarity is an inflationary concept in the discourses of higher education and science policy. Yet, some recent structural reforms in European and US universities reflect fundamental changes in the organization of knowledge production and teaching. This publication takes a fresh look at the meaning given to the concept of interdisciplinarity with these reforms. It presents examples of different forms of interdisciplinary research and teaching. These case studies are put in the broader context of reflections on developments in the organization of universities and their implications for knowledge production.

Abstract

The question of sustainability in the open access movement has been widely debated, yet satisfactory answers have yet to be generated: How do we move from an approach entirely based on temporary projects to an approach based on community-based sustainable infrastructure? What kinds of social and technical infrastructures could support the Knowledge Commons? What values and services are being delivered, by which stakeholders, and for whom? What governance and financial models are possible? Given the global nature of scholarly communication, how do we ensure that the designs of the Commons are inclusive of voices from the global South? This volume collects nine selected papers presented at ELPUB2018 Conference in June 2018 in Toronto. Each paper was carefully selected, reviewed and edited to bring to an international audience the latest contributions from researchers and experts in the field. In addition to the technical issues related to interoperability of systems, research workflow, content preservation, and other services, the selected papers address the design and implementation of a community-based research communication infrastructure. ELPUB Conference has featured research results in various aspects of digital publishing for over two decades, involving a diverse international community of librarians, developers, publishers, entrepreneurs, administrators and researchers across the disciplines in the sciences and the humanities.

Abstract

"Combining the knowledge and experience of leading international researchers, practitioners and policy consultants, Knowledge for Peace discusses how we identify, claim and contest the knowledge we have in relation to designing and analysing peacebuilding and transitional justice programmes. Exploring how knowledge in the field is produced, and by whom, the book examines the research-policy-practice nexus, both empirically and conceptually, as an important part of the politics of knowledge production. This unique book centres around two core themes: that processes of producing knowledge are imbued with knowledge politics, and that research-policy-practice interaction characterises the politics of knowledge and transitional justice. Investigating the realities of, and suggested improvements for, knowledge production and policy making processes as well as research partnerships, this book demonstrates that knowledge is contingent, subjective and shaped by relationships of power, affecting what is even imagined to be possible in research, policy and practice. Providing empirical insights into previously under-researched case studies, this thought-provoking book will be an illuminating read for scholars and students of transitional justice, peacebuilding, politics and sociology"--
