How do societies remember those once hidden behind institutional walls? The Swedish podcast "Vipeholmsanstalten" reconstructs the world of neglect, coercion and medical experimentation in one of Sweden’s largest institutions for intellectually disabled people.

Anna Derksen explores how the podcast produces historical knowledge as a form of mediated memory 👇

Neuzugang bei de.hypo: "Knowledge does not simply exist, awaiting discovery and use. Knowledge is produced, adapted, forgotten, rejected, superseded, expanded, reconfigured."

History of Knowledge – Research, Resources, Perspectives

Christina DongowskiFeb 8, 2024
A lot of the methods we use to organise knowledge and information today, are very recent inventions (and probably in a profound transformation process through Data Mining / so called AI etc.) The 16th & 17th century were another great age of experiments in knowledge organisation in Europe . Ann Blair is an expert on this and very fun to listen to in this podcast, #historyofknowledge #historyofscience #earlymodernhistory
(The whole series is a joy to listen to.) https://historyofphilosophy.net/bodin-blair

Great talk by Tamson Pietsch on her new book The Floating University. Fascinating to hear about the project, and US universities' expanding claims on knowledges in the interwar years, efforts to maintain authority, and on student credits!

Got up early for this one, but well-worth it. All organised by the wonderful HistGeogUni research network (https://www.histgeog-uni.net/) #historyofknowledge #historyofeducation #historyofuniversities

Blogging Histories of Knowledge in Washington, D. C. | Geschichte und Gesellschaft

Abstract The authors reflect on their experiences as the founding editors of the History of Knowledge blog. Situating the project in its specific institutional, geographical, and historiographical contexts, they highlight its role in scholarly communication and research alongside journals and books in a research domain that is still young, especially when viewed from an international perspective. At the same time, the authors discuss the blog’s role as a tool for classifying and structuring a corpus of work as it grows over time and as new themes and connections emerge from the contributions of its many authors.

@lafayettepod @histodons @medievalists I live in New Zealand. I was able to follow my ancestry back through various Normans to Henry 111 of England, thus on to Eleanor D’Aquitaine - Savoy - Charlemagne (with a billion other descendants). Years ago I visited Eleanor, Henry 11 and Richard Lionheart’s resting place in the Loire valley. If I’d known I’d have said hi granddad and grandma (22 times removed). #history #historyofknowledge #books #bookstodon #thesocialcontract
