Wissen wird durch historisch spezifische Methoden zur Geltung gebracht oder in seiner Gultigkeit bestritten. Der Band verfolgt diese Konstellation an Beispielen aus Mittelalter und Fruhneuzeit.


In recent years, academic research in many fields in the humanities has focused on the various cultural strategies by which knowledge is produced. Such strategies, ranging from epistemic to aesthetic practices, may be designed to validate and reinforce such knowledge, or, on the contrary, to discredit it. Thus, the production of knowledge is always part of a series of complex dynamics, evolving from the varying attempts to affirm or reject it. Within an interdisciplinary scope, the present volume brings together twelve case studies, ranging from the medieval to the early modern period, which focus precisely on these dynamics.
