Dear Eduardo and all,
The discussion about whether knowledge can be 'contained' in something is an interesting one but surely really only tells us about the use, and limitations of, (word) language? Most would agree that knowledge is 'acquired' from books and from paintings and artefacts. But it would seem that this is not the same as saying that the books, paintings and artefacts 'contain' knowledge.
What I find interesting about Luke Feast's initial, helpful outline of research into human communication/ transmission is that it seems to support the view that we should be wary of suggestions of hierarchies between word-language and picture/artefact-language when it comes to the transmission or dissemination of knowledge.
Best,
Martin
