Abstract

In the vast majority of cases, the outcome of research may be understood not as the simple discovery of a datum that already exists, but as the generation of new meaning: an emergent result arising from the encounter, tension, and synthesis between two or more previous bodies of knowledge. New knowledge is therefore not an isolated element, but the outcome of a process of connection, resembling a dynamic structure in continuous evolution. (read more)
