Conceptualizing a Metaphor of Intellectual Landscape

The paper attempts to conceptualize a metaphor of intellectual landscape and contributes to the key tasks of sociology of knowledge, which stem from
the growth of complexity, non-linearity and high dynamics of the present-day knowledge structures. Authors mark the key ideas that influenced the
development of the sociology of knowledge into an interdisciplinary metatheoretical field throughout 20th century and draw attention to the major
trends in its further evolution. The basic mechanisms of collaborative knowledge generation as a process of structural coupling and co-creation of knowledge,
communication and emotional energy are described. Then the authors elaborate their concept of intellectual landscape – a dynamic, complex, non-linear, heterogeneous network structure embedded in sociocultural environment, which consists of actors and more or less stable network integrities connected by com munication ties of various density and intensity allowing to generate emotional energy and create knowledge.
