KNOWLEDGE AND CIVIL SOCIETY KARTONIERT (TB)

This open access book focuses on the role of civil society in the creation  dissemination  and
interpretation of knowledge in geographical contexts. It offers original  interdisciplinary and
counterintuitive perspectives on civil society. The book includes reflections on civil and
uncivil society  the role of civil society as a change agent  and on civil society perspectives
of undone science. Conceptual approaches go beyond the tripartite division of public  private
and civic sectors to propose new frameworks of civic networks and philanthropic fields  which
take an inclusive view of the connectivity of civic agency across sectors. This includes
relational analyses of epistemic power in civic knowledge networks as well as of regional
giving and philanthropy. The original empirical case studies examine traditional forms of civic
engagement  such as the German landwomen's associations  as well as novel types of
organizations  such as giving circles and time banks in their geographical context. The book
also offers insider reflections on doing civil society  such as the cases of the Umbrella
Movement in Hong Kong  epistemic activism in the United States  and the #FeesMustFall movement
in South Africa.
