Reappropriating Knowledge

Presentation

This book, at a crossroads of fields and disciplines, offers an unprecedented reflection on the concept of appropriation (or reappropriation) of knowledge and skills using case studies. The analysis is focused on the point of view of the actors, their commitments, their intentions and their goals, while looking at the power of initiative and the strategies they deploy in the production and use of knowledge.

The case studies proposed will stimulate theoretical thought, form the basis for regional studies, and enable comparative approaches.
