Historians have long been interested in knowledge—its nature and origin, and the circumstances under which it was created—but it has only been in recent decades that the history of knowledge has emerged as an academic field in its own right. In Circulation of Knowledge, a group of Nordic researchers address the burning issue of the day: the circulation of knowledge in social or scientific circles, and what happens to it when it is in motion. Reflecting on a range of empirical studies, from sixteenth-century cartography to seventies' sexology, the authors make a significant contribution to the growing international research on the history of knowledge. The authors offer ground-breaking insights into the theory and methodology of this new field of research, and invite early stage researchers to explore the possibilities of testing their own source material.
