The Dynamics of Knowledge Circulation - Cases from Korea (Hardcover, New edition)

The book is about the evolution and transformation of knowledge and knowledge systems in the context of cultural contact. The articles take Korea as an example and deal with the configuration, dissemination and consolidation of knowledge in certain contexts of the past and present. Combining philological and social scientific approaches, this book is the result of a joint research project of the Korean Studies institutes at Freie Universitat Berlin and Ruhr University Bochum pursued between 2009 and 2014.
