Association "Cultures of Knowledge" (Wissenskulturen e.V.) german

alhambra The general area of activities of the Association "Cultures of Knowledge" (Wissenskulturen e.V.) is the phenomena of societal transformation and historical change of knowledge cultures. The work is predicated on the premise, that any social change, in whatever societal area, corresponds with a change of culture of knowledge. Insofar all societies are "knowledge societies" in the sense that any society has to emerge forms and techniques to proceed important decisions regulating its knowledge: Which knowledge should be kept, which can be deleted. And which form this could be done?

As knowledge culture we indicate the complexity of generation, storing, access and dissemination of knowledge. Insofar an observation of all these components of knowledge cultures should be helpful to get a deeper insight into the social quality of current societal transition in general.

The association Wissenskulturen e.V. was founded 2008. To read more about the activities of the association "Wissenskulturen e.V." please go to the Website of the Wissenskulturen e.V.
