[Commlist] Call for contributions: The Kn/Own/Able—A Communications Project around Knowledge Ownership

Thu Jun 06 08:52:56 GMT 2024




The Max Planck Institute for the History of Science is excited to announce the launch of the “kn/own/able Project <https://knownable.org/>_,_” an interdisciplinary communications initiative towards social change around knowledge and its ownership.

ABOUT THE KN/OWN/ABLE PROJECT

“Knowing” and “owning” seem like two separate things in our modern globalized world, with “science” often viewed as the main form of knowledge and “law" (such as intellectual property) as the dominant form of ownership. But are knowledge and its ownership really separate? In the kn/own/able project, we contend that this division is artificial and exacerbates social inequalities. Because, in fact, knowing and owning are mutually conditioning. This spans academic and wider social spheres, and has impacts across (de)colonialism, heritage, law, environmental change, science development and more.

Through the collaborative kn/own/able project we seek to spark further discussion, empower researchers and practitioners with new interdisciplinary methods, and instigate social change around knowledge and ownership.

Learn more on our website, knownable.org <http://knowable.org/>, where you can find explainer videos, graphics, and podcast episodes <https://knownable.org/stories/>, and the open-access book <https://knownable.org/bookrelease> /Ownership of Knowledge: Beyond Intellectual Property. /
