Histories of Knowledge in Postwar Scandinavia

Description:

"This book uses case studies to explore how knowledge circulated in the different public arenas that shaped politics, economics and cultural life in and across postwar Scandinavia, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. Contributors examine various forms of knowledge that provide insight into the making and functioning of postwar Scandinavian societies and offer studies that contribute to the history of knowledge at large. Offering a stimulating point of departure for those interested in the history of knowledge and the circulation of knowledge, it is a vital resource for students and scholars of postwar Scandinavia that provides fresh perspectives and new methodologies for exploration"--
