Research Handbook on the Sociology of Knowledge
ISBN-13: 9781800376632 / Angielski / Twarda / 2025 / 560 str.
This timely Handbook celebrates and contributes to the recent revitalisation of the sociology of knowledge. A diverse group of leading experts from the global North and South provide a state of the art overview of a field, which is developing rapidly with the growth of poststructuralist, postcolonial, and feminist approaches. Fran Collyer and contributing authors explore the theoretical frameworks underpinning the sociology of knowledge and demonstrate how these can address new issues, problems and circumstances. They shed light on how the sociology of knowledge is applied to and impacts contemporary challenges including racial and gender inequality, climate change, and the growth of neoliberalism. They also offer insights into the association between theories of knowledge and other conceptual and theoretical developments such as the sociology of science, constructivism, pragmatism, postmodernism, poststructuralism, and postcolonialism. This Handbook provides a comprehensive map of the area for both early and experienced scholars exploring the broad array of approaches, methods, concepts and theories which are now being applied within this rapidly changing field. The Research Handbook on the Sociology of Knowledge is an essential resource for scholars and students in sociology, and throughout the social sciences, interested in knowledge, its history, production, translation, circulation and exchange.
