“…Even though Moyn and Sartori do not offer a clear-cut definition of circulation, their collection brought the processes of knowledge transfer and intellectual interconnectedness into the limelight. 28 A common denominator in global intellectual history as well as in the fields sketched above is that knowledge is explored as a transformative phenomenon. Circulation is thus compatible with the theoretical conviction that knowledge must be analyzed as a dynamic historical phenomenon.…”

The recent surge in publications on the history of knowledge may obscure the fact that there are several parallel understandings of what the field is. In this article, I discern five major historiographical directions in contemporary scholarship regarding the history of knowledge. The analytical framework that has so far attracted the most attention is the circulation of knowledge. As productive as it is, the very concept of circulation is in need of both elaboration and theorization. In order to achieve this, I focus on the public circulation of knowledge. This kind of circulation implies that knowledge should be studied as a broad, societal phenomenon. There are a number of possible methodological approaches to study the processes, situations, or contexts where knowledge has or gains public significance. Here I focus on and develop the concept of public arenas of knowledge, which might be virtual, physical, or hybrid spaces. Drawing on several new studies, I demonstrate how different public arenas of knowledge functioned during the postwar period and how they were part of a larger infrastructure of knowledge.

“…As Samuel Moyn and Andrew Sartori put it, the question might not be 'compar[ing] intellectuals or intellectual practices'. 15 Rather, the point might be doing such things vis-à-vis a 'diversity' of approaches to international problematics and in proximity to movements and figures seen in light of gestalt pictures of the past. The problem might be a range of insights into movements and figures, yet also institutions, contexts, and broader senses of the times.…”

Any number of issues raise the question of internationalism todayfrom the Corona virus to the nationalist waves in contemporary politics to the general nature of the post-Cold War environment. However, in the face of meaningful election cycles, debates over Brexit, torsions of 'nationalism' versus 'globalism', and skepticism towards international institutions, it's useful to perspectivize the issue in relation to not only intellectual history, but a diverse range of takes on the topic. Here, we provide an overview of a special issue dedicated to that taskthinking through layers and varieties of internationalism vis-a-vis figures, locales, and thematics less-explored or asking to be rethought.

“…De récentes critiques ont mis en évidence les dangers du « tournant global » en histoire, qui consiste à présenter des connexions anciennes comme quantitativement et qualitativement continues, ignorant les hauts et les bas et ne formulant pas de cadres explicatifs complets 22 . Alors que le tournant global a peut-être atteint ce que David A.…”
