| According to one of my old professors, diagrams with triangles and circles are a key part to any presentation. So here is a triangle diagram that illustrates exclusivity with respect to knowledge institutions across time. |
As we have studied various types of
knowledge institutions during the semester, we have come across various
different patterns that transcended each of the different types of
knowledge. In our “salon” activity yesterday
and while studying the different blog posts in preparation for the activity, I
realized that one of the important trends in the knowledge systems was
exclusivity and complexity of knowledge.
From folk knowledge to written knowledge, exclusivity increased, but
then it came back full circle and is once again widespread with digital
media. After the move from folk and oral knowledge to written knowledge, the
increased exclusivity and problems that accompanied it were the cause for a drive to
increasingly widespread forms of knowledge systems.
