Travelling Facts

The Social Construction, Distribution, and Accumulation of Knowledge

235 pages,  6 x 8  © 2004

Paper $36.00

ISBN: 9783593375076   Published November 2006

Travelling Facts explores the production and distribution of facts : their life cycles as well as the material networks through which they travel. Acknowledging that facts are fallible and originate primarily in isolated laboratories and field sites, the volume includes discussions about how facts are reassembled into practical knowledge, how they translate locally, and what lessons may be learned from those who attempt to regulate fact production and circulation in the face of the marked acceleration and expansion of digital technologies worldwide.
