Distributed Sites of Knowledge Production

Papers are invited that expose the diversity of the sites of production of
scientific knowledge. The process of knowledge production must not be
identified with the efforts of an individual in an academic environment, which
is then applied as technology. It is a more diffused practice involving the
contributions of a number of sites simultaneously, where knowledge is produced
and remains tacitly embedded like industrial R&D facilities, national
laboratories, military supported research establishments, agricultural field
stations, museums, courts and colonial expeditions. The symposium aims to
compare and contrast the multiple spaces in which knowledge has been produced,
circulated and transformed through the ages.
