Summary: Dagens samhl̃le karaktr̃iseras ofta som kunskapssamhl̃let, till skillnad frn̄ det tidigare industrisamhl̃let. Historiker vet dock att alla samhl̃len r̃ och har varit kunskapssamhl̃len: Utan mj̲ligheter att skapa, v̲erfr̲a och anvñda kunskap, sv̄l̃ individer som grupper emellan, hade maktomrd̄en varken kunnat byggas eller vidmakthl̄las. Antologin speglar hur historiska aktr̲er, sv̄l̃ makthavare som lekmñ och tjñstemñ, har producerat och utnyttjat information och kunskap frn̄ medeltiden till idag. Hr̃ ryms forskning om folkrk̃ning, urbanisering, kungars historieskrivning, myndighetsutv̲ning, sociala och politiska rr̲elser, disciplinering och opinionsbildning. I Kunskapens tider bidrar nio medarbetare frn̄ Historiska institutionen vid Stockholms universitet med exempel p h̄ur behovet och anvñdandet av kunskap sett ut i olika historiska situationer och tidsperioder.Summary: Today's society is often characterized as a knowledge society, in contrast to the earlier industrial society. Historians however know that all societies are and have been knowledge societies. Without the ability to create, transfer, and use knowledge, between individuals and groups, power areas would neither have been built nor maintained. This edited volume reflects how historical actors, both those in power as well as laymen and officials, have produced and utilised information and knowledge from the Middle Ages until today. It acommodates research into census, urbanisation, history of kings and queens, exercise of public authority, social and political movements, disciplining and formation of opinion. In Kunskapens tider. Historiska perspektiv p k̄unskapssamhl̃let ("The knowledge society. A historical perspective") nine researchers from the Department of History at Stockholm University contribute with examples of the need for and use of knowledge, in different historical situations and periods.
