Introduction : Politics of Knowledge and the Modern History of the Humanities

The history of the humanities needs to move beyond the focus on tra-ditional disciplines and historicize notions regarding the impact andorganization of the humanities in a long historical perspective. The presentedited volume, based on case studies of Sweden in the modern period,provides an important contribution to such an endeavor. This introductionproposes an analytical framework by special reference to “knowledgepolitics,” a concept that allows a flexible and aggregated examination ofhow societies have valued and politicized the organization, balancing,and circulation of knowledge on a broad scale. The national case in pointprovides illuminating insights into how the humanities over time had torelate to various regimes of legitimacy and enables comparisons on aninternational scale.
