The ENTRUST project is investigating the ‘human factor’ in the energy system through in-depth

engagementwithsix‘communitiesofpractice’.Asignificantcomponentoftheprojectisthecreationand

development of a knowledge and communication platform—producing this platform is the task that is

in developing their own pathways toward the transition to a more sustainable energy system. This

document is the first output from Task 7.1, and it sets out the preliminary schema thatwill inform the

identification, selection, and production of content for that platform. It outlines how the detail of that

schemawas arrived at, including a descriptionof the reasoning and justification for the selectionof the

Knowledgeisoftendividedintotwotypesofknowledge–‘explicitknowledge’and‘tacitknowledge’

(Polanyi1958,1966).Explicitknowledgeisakintoinformation,andcanbebroadlydescribedas‘know

what’or‘intellectual’knowledge;whereastacitknowledgeismorelike‘practicalknowledge’andcanbe

describedas‘knowhow’oras‘embodiedknowledge’.Oneofthemostsignificantdifferencesbetweenthe

twotypesofknowledgeisthattacitknowledgecannoteasilybeexplainedusinglanguage,ormathematics,

asopposedtoexplicitknowledgethatcanbe.WhilePolanyiiscreditedwithidentifyingtacitknowledge,

andclarifyingthedifferencebetweenthetwoformsofknowledge,heisclearthatthetwotypesof

knowledgearenotdiscrete,andthatexplicitknowledgehasatacitdimension,andviceversa(1958,1966).

Theawarenessthatknowledgecantakedifferentformsinformsourapproachtogatheringknowledgefor

understandingthatparticipantsareembodiedagentslivingincomplexsocialworlds.Thisisanimportant,

andnecessary,distinctiontomake,althoughitisadistinctionthatisnotalwaysmade:

In mainstream theorizing about energy consumption, body is collapsed into mind and the demand for goods is both disembodied and decontextualized from social and material worlds. Yet, bodies are repositories of a unique and explicit form for knowledge about the world and this knowledge affects the ways we consume. Concrete experiences, involving both body and perceptions are always brought to bear in learning and adapting ourselves to new environments.
