HISTSCI 2882: Genre and Knowledge

Instructor: Alex Csiszar
TBA

How and to what extent is knowledge shaped by the forms and genres through which it has been produced? Bringing history of science and technology together with media studies, book history, and cultural theory, we will consider histories and theories of representation, textuality, authorship, reading, illustration, translation, and the archive.

Course Notes:

This course will satisfy the pre-1800 requirement for doctoral students in History of Science.
