Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follows :
According to Peter Walsh (2003), knowledge
production has historically been based on the expert paradigm in which bodies
of knowledge are controlled by groups of experts.
The differentiation between interior and
exterior, expert and layperson, producer and consumer, creates what Walsh
(2003) called “knowledge hegemony” in which control over the creation and
distribution of knowledge and information is monopolized in the hands of the
few. However, advances in information technology – from the printing press to
the World Wide Web – have led to the steady erosion of this hegemony in so far
as they have allowed greater numbers of people to participate in knowledge
production. The printing press, for example, undermined one of the key elements
of the medieval Church’s knowledge hegemony : the control of book production
and libraries. Mass publishing and the spread of literacy formed the basis the Reformation,
the Age of Enlightenment, and the Scientific Revolution.
Today,
the web is undermining the knowledge hegemony of a number of fields such as journalism,
publishing, education, and museums. Echoing sentiments similar to those
expressed by Benjamin in his essay “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical
Reproduction” (1936/1968), Walsh (2003) argued that loss of physical control
over art, owing to new technological means of mass production and distribution,
undermines the ability of museums to control what types of art are made
accessible to the public, the context in which they are seen, and the types of
discourses about them that are considered “appropriate”. The availability of easy
to use digital technologies for reproducing, creating, and distributing content
– artistic, literary, informational, or otherwise – has effectively weakened
existing knowledge hegemonies by lowering the barriers to participation in
knowledge production. Participatory cultures therefore produce a
counter-hegemonic effect in so far as they “erode monopolistic positions held
by professions, educational institutions, and experts, and they increase the
diversity of perspectives on the way the world is and the way it could be”.
