Information About

Knowledge Object




A knowledge object is a theoretical concept introduced by the German sociologist Karin Knorr Cetina (2002) to describe the emergence of post-social relations in epistemic cultures. Knowledge objects are different than everyday things and are defined as unfolding structures that are non-identical with themselves.
