Political knowledge as teamwork: The Academy of Zamość print shop (1594-1627)

The aim of this project was to provide the first comprehensive analysis of the collective effort behind the production of new political theories and ideas, focusing attention on one of the most famous early modern Polish universities: the Academy of Zamość. The main objectives of my action were: 1. the analysis of Zamość publications and the academic curricula of their creators; 2. the study of the political and philosophical issues most frequently addressed in the publications and in the manuscripts, and their relation to the teaching activities; 3. the examination of the interactions between the academics. The idea that knowledge is constructed jointly, through a collective effort, is an ancient concept that dates back to the classical age. It was, however, in the early modern age that it became the basis of a programmatic plan for a number of institutions, such as academies, universities and symposia. The joint dissemination of political theories and practice in Zamość in the first decades of its activity (1595-1627) was a significant early example of the collective construction of knowledge, and an illuminating forerunner of similar experiments which materialised several decades later. Therefore, the activity of this Academy in the early modern age can act as a touchstone for the interpretation of other European contexts, shedding new light on the importance of teamwork among intellectuals in the building of new knowledge.

Цел на проекта

This research project investigates the collective effort behind the development of modern political science through a case study unique in Europe: the editorial activity of the Academy of Zamość. This academy was one of the most distinguished schools of the early modern era and its primary mission was to train the Polish nobility for political life. It also had its own print shop where teachers jointly collaborated in the preparation of texts for printing. My analysis will consider the period from the foundation of the Academy in 1594 up to the destruction of the printworks by fire in 1627, during which time policy was largely influenced by its founder, the political and military leader Jan Zamoyski (1542-1605).To avoid misinterpretations common to mono-disciplinary approaches, I will adopt an inter/multidisciplinary method, integrating the history of political thought, of ideas and of printing. I will also employ interpretative tools of the sociology of knowledge which have never before been applied to the cultural life of a Renaissance academy. I will use this innovative method to explore:1. the Zamość publications and the academic curricula of their creators;2. the political issues most frequently addressed in the publications, and their relation to the teaching activities;3. the interactions between the various working groups and individuals in the print shop.My project is the first to produce a wide-ranging analysis of a fundamental topic in the history of early modern culture, since this Academy predated by several decades similar experiences elsewhere. This proposal also meets the Work Programme training objectives in the acquisition of new (transferable) skills and a considerable enhancement of professional maturity. Finally, my research will be widely disseminated, delivering a monograph, online research tools, articles, and presentations in Poland and abroad, contributing to raise awareness about the collective production of knowledge among scholars.
