Notes

  1. Comparable networks were growing in Germany, notably in Bielefeld, where a graduate colloquium on “Archiv-Macht-Wissen” took place from 2005 to 2009, and in Munich, where one section of SFB 573, “Pluralisierung and Autorität in der Frühen Neuzeit” (beginning in 2001) is dedicated to “Ordnungen des Wissens.”.
