The second volume of the yearbook History of Intellectual Culture (HIC) has been published. The volume comprises individual papers, a thematic section, a review essay and a conversation, all related to the history of knowledge. The volume is available open access: https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783111078038/html#contents

The thematic section is dedicated to modes of publication. The articles attest to the great variety of publication modes and perspectives, from the potential and limits of digitizing newspapers such as the New York Times to questions of positionality in building and using Wikipedia, from translation policies and female participation to the genre of university histories.

The articles address in various ways recent advances in publication studies and stresses the cultural formation of knowledge. By exploring and analyzing layers of presenting, sharing, and circulating knowledge, the authors invite readers to critically engage with questions of media uses and publishing practices and structures, both historically and in our contemporary digital age. 

History of Intellectual Culture is edited by Charlotte A. Lerg, Johan Östling and Jana Weiß.
