AUTHOR

Gibbons, Michael, Limoges, Camille, Nowotny, Helga

SUMMARY

In this provocative and broad-ranging work, the authors argue that the ways in which knowledge - scientific, social and cultural - is produced are undergoing fundamental changes at the end of the twentieth century. They claim that these changes mark a distinct shift into a new mode of knowledge production which is replacing or reforming established institutions, disciplines, practices and policies. Identifying features of the new mode of knowledge production - reflexivity, transdisciplinarity, heterogeneity - the authors show how these features connect with the changing role of knowledge in social relations. While the knowledge produced by research and development in science and technology is accorded central concern, theGibbons, Michael is the author of 'New Production of Knowledge The Dynamics of Science and Research in Contemporary Societies', published 1994 under ISBN 9780803977945 and ISBN 0803977948.
