Abstract
While exploring the meaning of knowledge, in the previous chapter we identified academia and its disciplines as a central place of knowledge production. However, that does not encompass all the agents involved in the field. Disciplines emerge as discursive practices that reflect specific rules of academia, whereas the notion of field includes an epistemic culture that does not conceptualize knowledge as built on a privileged epistemic paradigm, but rather occupies a transdisciplinary space. Nevertheless, academia remains central and we take it as our point of departure for an understanding of the field by investigating how arts management and cultural policy developed within this setting.
