Paperback. Condition: New. What don't we know, and why don't we know it? What keeps ignorance alive, or allows it to be used as a political instrument? Agnotology-the study of ignorance-provides a new theoretical perspective to broaden traditional questions about "how we know" to ask: Why don't we know what we don't know? The essays assembled in Agnotology show that ignorance is often more than just an absence of knowledge; it can also be the outcome of cultural and political struggles. Ignorance has a history and a political geography, but there are also things people don't want you to know ("Doubt is our product" is the tobacco industry slogan). Individual chapters treat examples from the realms of global climate change, military secrecy, female orgasm, environmental denialism, Native American paleontology, theoretical archaeology, racial ignorance, and more. The goal of this volume is to better understand how and why various forms of knowing do not come to be, or have disappeared, or have become invisible.…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. ¿Qué es lo que no sabemos y por qué no lo sabemos? ¿Qué es lo que mantiene viva la ignorancia o permite que se utilice como instrumento político? La agnotología el estudio de la ignorancia ofrece una nueva perspectiva teórica para ampliar las preguntas tradicionales sobre cómo sabemos y preguntar: ¿Por qué no sabemos lo que no sabemos? Los ensayos reunidos aquí muestran que la ignorancia es a menudo más que una simple ausencia de conocimiento; también puede ser el resultado de luchas culturales y políticas. La ignorancia tiene una historia y una geografía política, pero también hay cosas que la gente no quiere que se sepan. Los capítulos individuales tratan ejemplos de los ámbitos del cambio climático global, el secreto militar, el orgasmo femenino, el negacionismo medioambiental, la paleontología de los nativos americanos, la arqueología teórica, la ignorancia racial y otros. El objetivo de la obra es comprender mejor cómo y por qué diversas formas de conocimiento no llegan a existir, o han desaparecido, o se han vuelto invisibles. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condition: Nuevo. La nuestra es una edad de oro de la ignorancia y es importante saber cómo se ha llegado hasta aquí y por qué. Las poderosas corporaciones crean ignorancia para ocultar sus fechorías y los medios hacen posible que la desinformación se extienda como un incendio forestal o un potente virus. Gran parte de esta desinformación es calculada y deliberada y, sin embargo, el tema sigue siendo extraordinariamente poco estudiado y teorizado. En el presente libro se analiza la producción social de la ignorancia en sus múltiples formas, explorando el negacionismo corporativo, el secreto militar, la ignorancia racial y sexual, la selectividad de la bioprospección colonial y muchas otras cosas. La ignorancia prospera mejor cuando sus creadores se esconden en la oscuridad. Nuestra esperanza es arrojar luz sobre este oscuro mundo de sombras.…
