Beskrivelse
The Politics of Knowledge Work in the Post-Industrial Culture is a valuable resource for understanding cultural work and its relation to the wider political paradigm, in which the dissemination of knowledge is embedded and realised through diverse cultural work practices. The book describes the corpus callosum between cultural work and knowledge dissemination, through which cultural workers learn to interrogate ways in which institutional powers govern their practice in the arts and humanities. The Politics of Knowledge Work in the Post-Industrial Culture features case studies that examine the material-semiotic, political, and moral-ecological dimensions of three major cultural projects: The Gotthard Base Tunnel Exhibition in Switzerland (2003 2016), Jennifer Baichwal s documentary film Manufactured Landscapes (2006), and Ai Weiwei's social performance Fairytale at Documenta 12 (2007). The book offers a new understanding of the creative convergence between cultural work and the biopolitical production of knowledge. It highlights the challenges of cultural and scientific learning with implications for governance and publics. The Politics of Knowledge Work in the Post-Industrial Culture is a compass for the many science and arts-oriented educational institutions that are trying to fuse cultural work and the social construction of reality through chosen fields of knowledge. The Politics of Knowledge Work in the Post-Industrial Culture is recommended reading for scholars, art educators, curators, artists, scientists, designers, change agents, and policy-makers.
