The Leverhulme Doctoral Scholarships Programme Knowledge Orders before Modernity is an innovative collaboration between King’s and the Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies at the University of Kent.
The programme explores the capacity of the handwritten word comparatively, outside and well as within western cultures, after as well as before the advent of the printing press. It seeks to challenge a conventional periodization which associates complex knowledge, complex archival mechanisms, and mundane recording with the arrival of print.
Investigations and studentships within the programme are grouped into four strands: exploring technologies of knowledge, embodied knowledge, system of knowledge and chronologies of knowledge.
The programme focuses on the methods of the past, the present and the future, such as AI-powered handwriting recognition programmes, as well as image and language generation.
