by Wiebke Keim (Editor), Leandro Rodriguez Medina (Editor), Rigas Arvanitis (Editor)

Knowledge is a result of never-ending processes of circulation. This accessible volume is the first comprehensive multidisciplinary work to explore these processes through the perspective of scholars working outside of Anglo-American paradigms.
