Knowledge culture (sociology)
In the field of the sociology of knowledge , knowledge culture means, depending on the definition or author:
- (Natural) scientific experimental cultures ( Karin Knorr-Cetina )
- a synonym for knowledge orders ( Hans-Jörg Sandkühler )
- a result or process of the "communicative construction" ( Hubert Knoblauch )
Demarcation
The sociological term is in contrast to the concept of organizational knowledge culture in knowledge management , not normative, but descriptive. Accordingly, no advice is given to companies and companies, but forms and processes of knowledge in social contexts are described or researched. Nor are there any alternatives to research in the field of learning psychology to optimize didactics .
Knowledge society or knowledge culture
Since the concept of the knowledge society was criticized very early on from various sides and overloaded with excessive expectations on the part of politics and business, research on knowledge cultures (with an emphasis on their majority) should offer a new, less biased approach. V. a. on the part of social constructivism and its more recent version as " communicative constructivism ", relevant topics have been dealt with here, such as B .:
- legitimation
- Vergemeinschaftungen ( Communities of Knowledge )
- Medialization and computerization of communicative action
- Objectification
- "Knowledge in Action" (knowledge communication)
- Practical theory
