Publishing for Public Knowledge

Publishing for Public Knowledge is a special thematic section with essays from a seminar celebrating Culture Unbounds first five years.

Publishing for Public Knowledge is a collection of essays discussing a number of current challenges in the academic landscape of publishing and knowledge-production. Edited by Johan Fornäs, Martin Fredriksson, Eva Hemmungs Wirtén and Naomi Stead, the thematic section considers especially the complex processes by which the scholarly journal straddles the border between what we think of as “bound,” and “unbound,” knowledge,. Publications such as academic journals are not just neutral tools for disseminating results, but intrinsic to the political economy of knowledge-production. With this theme, we would like to continue the important discussion of the new opportunities and threats to contemporary academic publishing, and contribute to a further discussion on how academia can provide sustainable future platforms for open knowledge.
