DESCRIPTION:gloknos is delighted to welcome Dr Johan Östling (Lund Univer
 sity) to present 'Circulating Public Knowledge: Towards a New History of t
 he Postwar Humanities' as part of our annual series.\n\nJohan Östling is 
 a historian at Lund University\, focused on the history of knowledge\, but
  with expertise more broadly in ideas\, culture\, and politics in Europe's
  modern history. Currently\, he is exploring knowledge circulation in the 
 Swedish press in the 1960s.\n\nfind the event on our website here:\nhttp:/
 /www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/28169\n\nAbstract:\nThe purpose of this lectu
 re is to demonstrate how a new history of the postwar humanities could be 
 written. Drawing on approaches from the emerging field of the history of k
 nowledge\, I will outline a study of the conditions for the circulation of
  humanistic knowledge in the public sphere of Western Europe in the 1960s 
 and 1970s. By introducing “arena of knowledge” as an analytical concep
 t\, I will highlight certain media platforms where circulation of humanist
 ic knowledge occurred\, for instance newspapers\, paperback series and ear
 ly television. All in all\, the paper underlines the importance of the hum
 anities for a kind of public knowledge in these years and thereby challeng
 es a crisis narrative of the humanities of the postwar period that is prev
 alent both in autobiographical accounts and established historiography.\n\
 n\nAttendance is free but spaces are limited\, so please email to reserve

 ent\, which may include any questions and responses delivered by the audie
