In so doing, its contributors explore the existence, performance, and sustainability of diverse political, scholarly, ecclesiastical, and material networks via manuscripts, artifacts, and theories framed by two broad interpretive categories. The first examines networks of scholars, writers, and the social and political histories related to their productions. The second imagines the transmission of “knowledge” as information, rhetoric, object, and epistemic grounding. In addition, the book rigorously investigates the theoretical possibilities and problems of researching early medieval networks, attempts to reconstruct historical networks, and critically analyzes the concept of “information.” Gracchi Books 01 punctum books 04 01 20230504 02 WORLD 06 15 9781685710545 06 15 9781685710552 WORLD 09 punctum books 20 01
