Digitization as disruption of knowledge systems: Open(ing) Knowledge (DiaDisK)

DiaDisk: The project

DiaDisK asks about the disruptive impacts of digitization in the institutions central to the knowledge society: university, library, and school. To this end, it focuses on institutions localized in Dresden (Open Science@TUD, SLUB, and Universitätsschule). Using a combination of linguistic and psychological approaches, the project investigates how the established and monopolistically organized knowledge-infrastructural regulations in these fields are transformed into open knowledge systems and how the disruptive and innovative potentials of digitization are constructed and interpreted both on a discursive and individual level. By developing and testing an integrative methodology for analyzing disruptive phenomena and their interpretations, which systematically intertwines their cognitive-affective anchors with their discursive-epistemic imprints, the project offers approaches for empirically comprehensively validated change management.
