What is Knowledge : Is Knowledge Power? about?

As we move through our modern world, the phenomenon we call knowledge is always involved.Whether we talk of know-how, technology, innovation, politics or education, it is the concept of knowledge that ties them all together. However, despite its ubiquity as a modern trope, we seldom encounter knowledge in itself. How is it produced, where does it reside, and who owns it? Is knowledge always beneficial, will we know all there is to know at some point in the future, and does knowledge really equal power? This book pursues an original approach to this concept that seems to define so many aspects of modern societies. It explores the topic from a distinctly sociological perspective, and traces the many ways that knowledge is woven into the very fabric of modern society. Marian Adolf is Professor of Media Culture at Zeppelin University in Friedrichshafen, Germany. His research interests revolve around the interface of media and social change, communication and cultural theory. He has held appointments as Visiting Professor at Quest University and Alpen-Adria-University Klagenfurt, and currently serves as chair of the German Communication Association’s section for Media Sociology.
