Due to historical, economic, and social changes, the concept s semantic alterations (as reflected in academic definitions and public reception) were followed by more and broader ways of transmitting it. From the perspective of knowledge formats and other genres, the Slovenian case may offer some comparative insights into the establishment, development, and popularization of scholarship. These processes are the outcome of the scholarly reconceptualization of culture research as well as the commodification of culture. a07377037
