From Lived Experience to the Written Word: Reconstructing Practical Knowledge in the Early Modern World

Product Information

RSS primarily support people to sustain their recovery in the community long term. These services help people to build on their strengths including the gains made in treatment if they have accessed it. This includes support to deepen their connection to recovery communities and wider community. Research has identified ongoing support including positive connections and engagement with peers as particularly important in early recovery (Best and others, 2017). Factors influencing recovery Jana Byars is the Academic Director of Netherlands: International Perspectives on Sexuality and Gender.

How and why early modern European artisans began to record their knowledge. In From Lived Experience to the Written Word: Reconstructing Practical Knowledge in the Early Modern World (U Chicago Press, 2022), Pamela H. Smith considers how and why, beginning in 1400 CE, European craftspeople began to write down their making practices. Rather than simply passing along knowledge in the workshop, these literate artisans chose to publish handbooks, guides, treatises, tip sheets, graphs, and recipe books, sparking early technical writing and laying the groundwork for how we think about scientific knowledge today. Focusing on metalworking from 1400-1800 CE, Smith looks at the nature of craft knowledge and skill, studying present-day and historical practices, objects, recipes, and artisanal manuals. From these sources, she considers how we can reconstruct centuries of largely lost knowledge. In doing so, she aims not only to unearth the techniques, material processes, and embodied experience of the past but also to gain insight into the lifeworld of artisans and their understandings of matter.

Where people and families are in recovery from problem alcohol or drug use, we describe this as lived experience. This is distinct from learned experience, which people can get through studying, practicing or exposure. People can, and typically do, have a mixture of both living or lived experience and learned experience.
