Epistemic genres across cultures: recipes and the exchange of medical knowledge between early modern China and Europe - The Hans Rausing Lecture 2016 given by Professor Gianna Pomata
In this Rausing lecture the notion of “epistemic genre” and its use for the comparative and cross-cultural history of knowledge is discussed. Professor Gianna Pomata calls "epistemic" that class of genres which develop in tandem with scientific or cognitive practices – for instance, the encyclopedia, the textbook, the treatise, the commentary, the essay, the medical recipe, the case history, etc. She will consider in particular a genre fundamentally related to medical practice, the recipe. In a comparative and cross-cultural perspective, I will focus on the role of recipes in an important episode of early modern “connected history” – the exchange of pharmacological knowledge between China and Europe.
