In eighteenth-century England, rapid urbanization, increased mobility, and intensified commercial exchange aggravated such challenges. This gave rise to various media designed to assist orientation and make local knowledge more readily available to wider audiences, for example, in maps, directories, and guidebooks. One type of information particularly affected by this development was the street address of individual residents and businesses. While up until the beginning of the eighteenth century such directions, as used in advertisements and on letters, tended to be highly specific, detailed, and changeable, over the course of a few decades, they became more standardized and concise. This was closely connected to an increasing tendency to treat addresses as stable and clear-cut pieces of information that could be passed on, published, and retrieved easily. Originally fluid, tacit knowledge was thus transformed into standardized, explicit information, fixed on calling cards and in directories. However, these forms of publication not only served to facilitate social and economic interactions, but they also touched upon sensitive issues of privacy: being easy to find was not necessarily desirable and, in fact, deemed rather risky by some, who consequently tried to keep information about their place of residence or work private. This paper sketches the development of styles and practices of street addressing in England between 1650 and 1850, drawing upon rich source material such as letters, directories, advertisements, and Post Office papers as well as contemporary novels. It serves as a case study of the complex relations between tacit and explicit, private and public knowledge.","PeriodicalId":187662,"journal":{"name":"KNOW: A Journal on the Formation of Knowledge","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133505671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Rupture, Revolution, and Rhetoric in the Disciplinary Formation of Classical Studies in Contemporary China","authors":"Jue Hou","doi":"10.1086/721431","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/721431","url":null,"abstract":"This article probes the various stakes of the rise of classical studies as a discipline in contemporary China, taking as a case in point Liu Xiaofeng’s shifting intellectual and political allegiances in his transition from a scholar of liberalist persuasion during the 1990s to a much decried advocate of the Mao cult over the past two decades. Outlining the reinvention of the “classics” as an inherently comparative new discipline that incorporates both Greek and Roman antiquity and ancient Chinese texts, the article argues that a consistent driving force behind the rise of classical scholarship is an attempt on the intellectuals’ part to amend cultural and intellectual ruptures that had ensued from political turmoil during the twentieth century from the modernizing May Fourth Movement to the Cultural Revolution. This categorical imperative of “making whole,” however, has assumed radically different forms, leading to the seeming discrepancy between Liu’s earlier “liberalist” stance to a more recent willingness to comply with the regime. In particular, through examining Liu Xiaofeng’s esoteric rhetoric in his reading of the Confucian scholar Xiong Shili, the article demonstrates that the will to cultural preservation that underlies Liu’s advocacy of classical scholarship eventually translates into an attempt to depoliticize philosophy and philology and hence a proneness to complicity with state power.","PeriodicalId":187662,"journal":{"name":"KNOW: A Journal on the Formation of Knowledge","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123896152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
