Mobilities of Knowledge

Knowledge and Space Volume 10

Series editor Peter Meusburger, Department of Geography, Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, Germany

Knowledge and Space This book series entitled “Knowledge and Space” is dedicated to topics dealing with the production, dissemination, spatial distribution, and application of knowledge. Recent work on the spatial dimension of knowledge, education, and science; ­learning organizations; and creative milieus has underlined the importance of s­ patial disparities and local contexts in the creation, legitimation, diffusion, and application of new knowledge. These studies have shown that spatial disparities in knowledge and creativity are not short-term transitional events but rather a fundamental ­structural element of society and the economy. The volumes in the series on Knowledge and Space cover a broad range of topics relevant to all disciplines in the humanities and social sciences focusing on ­knowledge, intellectual capital, and human capital: clashes of knowledge; milieus of creativity; geographies of science; cultural memories; knowledge and the economy; learning organizations; knowledge and power; ethnic and cultural ­ ­dimensions of knowledge; knowledge and action; and mobilities of k­ nowledge. These topics are analyzed and discussed by scholars from a range of disciplines, schools of thought, and academic cultures. Knowledge and Space is the outcome of an agreement concluded by the Klaus Tschira Foundation and Springer in 2006. More information about this series at http://www.springer.com/series/7568
