Knowledge Artifacts: When Society Objectifies Itself in Knowledge

Andrea Cerroni

2015

Abstract

The paper deals with knowledge artifacts as knowledge socially objectified. A typology of knowledge is considered, comprising forms (intellectual, practical, objectified); families (knowings, acquaintances, acknowledges) and kinds (for objectified knowledge: encapsulated, environments, symbols). A model for knowledge-society (as a new societal layer sedimenting over precedent ones) is also introduced in four logic phases (generation; institutionalization; diffusion; socialization) in order to show the mechanisms for its production.
