About the Book

The history of knowledge is a dynamic field of research with bright prospects. In recent years it has been established as an exciting, forwardlooking field internationally with a strong presence in the Nordic countries. Forms of Knowledge is the first publication by the Lund Centre for the History of Knowledge (LUCK). The volume brings together some twenty historians from different scholarly traditions to develop the history of knowledge. The knowledge under scrutiny here is the sort which people have regarded and valued as knowledge in various historical settings. The authors apply different perspectives to this knowledge, maintaining the historicity and situatedness of the production and circulation of knowledge. The book presents the history of knowledge in all its rich diversity. The role of knowledge in public life is the focus of some chapters, while others concentrate on the importance of knowledge for individuals or local communities; some chart the realities of academic or systematic knowledge, while others consider its existential or mundane dimensions. Taken together, they make a significant contribution to the theoretical, conceptual, and methodological advances in the field.
About the Author: David Larsson Heidenblad is Associate Professor and Deputy Director of the Lund Centre for the History of Knowledge (LUCK) at the Department of History, Lund University. He takes a general interest in the post-war period, especially the societal reach and relevance of various forms of knowledge, including environmental, financial, and humanist knowledge. Among his recent publications are 'Mapping a New History of the Ecological Turn' in Environment and History (2018), Circulation of Knowledge (2018) and Histories of Knowledge in Postwar Scandinavia (forthcoming, 2020). Anna Nilsson Hammar is a postdoctoral researcher and Deputy Director of the Lund Centre for the History of Knowledge (LUCK) at the Department of History, Lund University. She has written on the transformation of happiness, conscience, virtue, and morality in early modern Sweden, on the theory of history, and on digital history. Her latest publications include 'Theoria, Praxis and Poiesis' in Circulation of Knowledge (2018), and she is currently finishing a monograph on conflicts of conscience in early modern Sweden. Johan Östling is Associate Professor, Senior Lecturer, and Wallenberg Academy Fellow at the Department of History, Lund University. He is Director for the Lund Centre of the History of Knowledge (LUCK). Östlings's research encompasses various aspects of modern European history, in particular the history of knowledge, history of universities, and history of the humanities.
