#historyofknowledge — Public Fediverse posts

How do societies remember those once hidden behind institutional walls? The Swedish podcast "Vipeholmsanstalten" reconstructs the world of neglect, coercion and medical experimentation in one of Sweden’s largest institutions for intellectually disabled people.

Anna Derksen explores how the podcast produces historical knowledge as a form of mediated memory 👇

Hello All,

this will be the first of two #introduction s. The one in which I am an #earlymodern #histodon – one of the #earlymodons (emphasis on "ly") that is.

I do research, teach and care for my students at RWTH Aachen University.

My interests are in the #reformazing history of cities, earlymodern #urbanhistory, #historyofknowledge and especially cultures and religious knowledge of early modern artisans.

I'm also a nerd with a family, hobbies and political opinions. More about that later.

Since I (also) switched to hcommons.social a few days ago, here is my third #introduction!

I am a PhD student in Islamic and Arabic Studies in Münster, Germany, working on practices of evidence and strategies of verification of prophetic descent in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century North Africa. In particular, I am examining texts on a particular descent community claiming prophetic descent: the descendants of ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Jilānī, from a translocal perspective.

Also: I am excited to see something growing here that I didn't think was possible a few months ago. Glad to be here with you all!

fyi: I have enabled automatic deletion of posts after one month.

#Introduction: I go by Atlas on the internet, and I research and write about #personalknowledgemanagement (or #PKM) from a historical perspective – particularly #notetaking.

I have wider interests in #bookhistory #manuscripts #historyofknowledge #intellectualhistory #libraryhistory #digitalhumanities #medieval #earlymodern #renaissance

I'm not a professional, just somebody who adds more to my Zotero library than I can ever hope to read.
