How is knowledge exchanged and enabled in ways that permit dialogic engagement and respect different forms of globalizing knowledge? In what ways should we open up the authorization and production of knowledge to greater questioning? This collection examines global knowledge in the age of globalization and digitalization. It presents itself as both an archive of knowledge and a resource for classifying and de-classifying knowledges and objects of the world. By focusing on key concepts in the social sciences such as 'classification', 'discipline', 'science', 'technology' and 'culture' it provides an applied analysis of how knowledge is being revised and how it can be used for empowerment. The book raises searching questions about how knowledge is assembled and points to how absences and gaps in knowledge are organized. It offers an exciting and penetrating new way of thinking about knowledge and power.
