Agnotology

This book delves into the study of ignorance, examining how and why various forms of knowledge do not come to be, disappear, or become invisible.

It covers a range of topics including global climate change, military secrecy, environmental denialism, and racial ignorance.

The essays highlight that ignorance is often more than just an absence of knowledge; it can be the outcome of cultural and political struggles.

The volume emerged from workshops held at Pennsylvania State University and Stanford University, aiming to theorize and understand the multiple dimensions of power involved in practices of knowing and ignorance.
