Routledge Handbook of Academic Knowledge Circulation

<p>Knowledge is a result of never-ending processes of circulation. This accessible volume is the first comprehensive multidisciplinary work to explore these processes through the perspective of scholars working outside of Anglo-American paradigms. Through a variety of literature reviews examples of recent research and in-depth case studies the chapters demonstrate that the analysis of knowledge circulation requires a series of ontological and epistemic commitments that impact its conceptualisation and methodologies.</p><p>Bringing diverse viewpoints from across the globe and from a range of disciplines including anthropology economics history political science sociology and Science & Technology Studies (STS) this wide-ranging and thought-provoking collection offers a broad and cutting-edge overview of outstanding research on academic knowledge circulation. The book is structured in seven sections: (i) key concepts in studying the circulation of academic knowledge; (ii) spaces and actors of circulation; (iii) academic media and knowledge circulation; (iv) the political economy of academic knowledge circulation; (v) the geographies geopolitics and historical legacies of the global circulation of academic knowledge; (vi) the relationships between academic and extra-academic knowledges; and (vii) methodological approaches to studying the circulation of academic knowledge.</p><p>This handbook will be essential reading for academics researchers and postgraduate researchers in the humanities and social sciences interested in the circulation of knowledge.</p>
