Project Details

Description

The broad context of this theory building and theorising project is to contribute to the research on sociology of knowledge through examining content and form or type of new knowledge and ways and processes by which new knowledge is established. Within this broad scope, the purpose is to advance the theory of legitimation of newness and uncertainty, their emergence and impact (positive and negative) on social behaviour and the role of ‘social’ time.
