%X This article explores the relation between experience and ¡®know-how¡¯ as a ¡®tacit¡¯ form of knowledge and the role of enthusiasm in the production of ¡®know-how¡¯, and engages with the problem of the transmission of ¡®know how¡¯. Why is the transmission of ¡®know-how¡¯ a problem? If ¡®know-how¡¯ is a tacit form of knowledge, then there are difficulties imagining how it is transmitted through the media without becoming an ¡®explicit¡¯ form of knowledge.The author turns his attention to the humble ¡®how to¡¯ article, as its primary purpose is the transmission of ¡®know-how¡¯. He teases out the way ¡®know-how¡¯ is developed through experience and then suggests that instead of transmitting ¡®know-how¡¯ itself, the ¡®how to¡¯ article presents the conditions of experience through which a reader or viewer can develop ¡®know-how¡¯.
