Tatjana Scheffler and others published a book about „Infrastructures of (Non-)Knowledge. Virtuality and Epistemic Transformations“. The interdisciplinary contributions focus on scientific knowledge, which in all its aspects is widely understood to be shaped by social and material infrastructures, as well as by the practices unfolding within these arrangements. Considering ongoing, including AI-driven infrastructural transformations and digitization of epistemic cultures, the question of how infrastructures and practices shape what counts as (non-)knowledge arises anew. The book offers a broad and nuanced insight into the interrelations between knowledge practices and their infrastructures, including libraries, Wikipedia, human bodies, digital corpora, and universities. Together, they foreground the complexity of knowledge, and invite readers to critically reconsider prevailing epistemic regimes.
The book is available open access (https://www.transcript-verlag.de/978-3-8376-8244-1/infrastructures-of-non-knowledge/)
