 Information and Knowledge
Peter Horn (Cape Town/Berlin)

As the recent controversy around AIDS in South Africa has shown, not everything that looks like information is knowledge. In order to use information we already need knowledge. Without knowledge I cannot test information.

Knowledge is a structure within which information makes sense or is nonsense.


Papers held at the conference "Knowledge Networking in Cultural Studies" are published in
TRANS. Internet journal for Cultural Studies, No. 10/2001
