Mit dieser Episode nehmen wir am Wettbewerb Fast Forward Science 2025 in der Kategorie #AudioAward teil. #ffs Deutsche Infos inklusive übersetztes Transkript unten. ___________ The relationship between knowledge and ownership might appear straightforward, at least in the West: words in patents, books, and certificates define what can be legally owned. But what happens when knowledge resides not in texts but in the hands of a Kerala weaver, the movements of a Berlin dancer, or the practices of artisans globally? This episode explores how a Westernized focus on textual knowledge creates power imbalances that can disenfranchise those whose expertise lives in bodies and objects rather than words. Could reimagining the unity of knowing and owning help us create more equitable systems for all? This episode is based on the book chapters "Ownership of Knowledge: Introduction" and "Excavations of Knowledge Ownership: Theoretical Chapter" by Dagmar Schäfer and Annapurna Mamidipudi in the volume "Ownership of Knowledge. Beyond Intellectual Property". This volume is published under Open Access Licensing. Read online for free by clicking on the links above.
