The relationship between knowledge and ownership might appear straightforward, at least in the West: words in patents, books, and certificates define what can be legally owned. But what happens when knowledge resides not in texts but in the hands of a Kerala weaver, the movements of a Berlin dancer, or the practices of artisans globally? This episode explores how a Westernized focus on textual knowledge creates power imbalances that can disenfranchise those whose expertise lives in bodies and objects rather than words. Could reimagining the unity of knowing and owning help us create more equitable systems for all?
This episode is based on the book chapters "Ownership of Knowledge: Introduction" and "Excavations of Knowledge Ownership: Theoretical Chapter" by Dagmar Schäfer and Annapurna Mamidipudi in the volume "Ownership of Knowledge. Beyond Intellectual Property".

If you consider the music you hear on a radio, you might think about lyrics jotted down on a piece of paper or musical notes captured in ink, all under the protection of copyright law. That seems straightforward—until you explore an art form like Carnatic music. This Indian music style transcends the written note: based around communal experiences and ever-evolving improvisations, it challenges Western notions of how we understand music, and how we own it.
This episode is based on the book chapter "Raga and the Problem of Ownership: Knowledge and Culture in Carnatic Music" by Annapurna Mamidipudi and Viren Murthy in the volume "Ownership of Knowledge. Beyond Intellectual Property".

This episode explores a small crackle - and some big questions around what it means to be an “original” work and what it means to be a “fake”. Together with art historian Marjolijn Bol we travel from her garden to the vibrant markets of Indonesia and Africa. What can dazzling gems, intricate Batik patterns, and other material tell us about the power of imitation? Are “fake” and “original” always on opposite ends? Can a simple “crackle" in a material have value? This story delves into how our understanding of materials shape our connection to them.
This episode is based on the book chapter "Imitating Crackles: Material Mimesis in Stones and Textiles" by Marjolijn Bol in the volume "Ownership of Knowledge. Beyond Intellectual Property".
