Wissensoikonomien - Order and Transgression in Premodern Cultures
in cooperation with the Stiftung Humboldt Forum im Berliner Schloss
6th Annual Conference of the Collaborative Research Center 980 “Episteme in Motion. Transfer of Knowledge from the Ancient World to the Early Modern Period”
Knowledge is constituted and undergoes change in relation to the processes and networks in which it circulates, or to put it differently: in the framework of an oikos and its diverse contexts. At its sixth annual conference, the Collaborative Research Center “Episteme in Motion” extends an invitation to discuss the idea of an oikos of knowledge in greater depth. The ancient Greek concept of the oikos, both as an abstract notion and as a tangible reality, will serve as a heuristic category, providing impulses that open up new lines of inquiry.
The conference will offer a forum for a wide and interdisciplinary spectrum of investigative approaches. Using the concept of Wissensoikonomien as our point of departure, we will engage with related theoretical models and alternative methodologies, entering into productive dialogue with models from the fields of the social sciences and computer-based network analysis.
