Lieux de savoir (Places of knowledge) is a series of volume conceived by an international network of researchers in the social sciences and the humanities, and published by the French editor Albin Michel. The project’s purpose is to unfold a new scholarly field, a comparative history and anthropology of learned practices and traditions, in a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary perspective. The notebook Lieux de savoir (Places of Knowledge) is devoted to the preparation, the edition and the critical reception of these books and it will map out these new trends of scholarship, at the crossroads of the history of science, of the humanities, of the history of techniques and of spiritual traditions.
