项目摘要

In the late twentieth century, the humanities in the English-speaking world were transformed by the reception of types of French and German philosophy and critical theory that, in one way or another, work across the boundaries of existing disciplines. However, this reception took place in a range of specific disciplinary contexts (especially English literary studies), isolated from the consideration of the nature and innovative potential of the 'transdisciplinarity' of these works. This project is a theoretical investigation into the way certain concepts - for example, art, gender and the new - function across disciplinary borders in the humanitiesResearch contextExplicit discourses about 'transdisciplinarity' have recently been developed in both Science and Technology Studies and Education Studies. However, these are primarily focused on technological approaches to problem solving (in everyday and policy contexts) and the social organization of knowledges. In neither instance has the idea been connected up to developments in the humanities since the 1960s, or to issues of a fundamental theoretical character about the unity of the humanities as body of knowledge and practice (or the unity of 'the human' itself). Traditionally, philosophy has conceived of itself as providing the forms of universality that span other disciplines. However, for reasons of its analytical formation, English-language philosophy has shown little interest in the question of the status, character and modes of functioning of general concepts across disciplines in the humanities. This is, however, a characteristic of philosophical Romanticism. The study of transdisciplinarity in the humanities must thus address both the existing literature on transdisciplinarity in other areas and the question of the relationship of transdisciplinary concepts to philosophical concepts, historically and analytically - through a new approach to the legacy of philosophical Romanticism.Aims and objectivesThis project aims to address the basic questions: What is transdisciplinarity in the humanities? And to what extent and in what ways is the creativity of a concept linked to its transdisciplinary construction, application or potential? It has among its objectives: 1) the production of case studies, and critical and comparative analyses, of the transdisciplinary structures and dynamics of one major, philosophically informed transdisciplinary text from each of the German and French critical traditions - books which have had a significant impact on recent English-language work. We propose to compare Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno's Dialectic of Enlightenment (1944; 1947) and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's two-volume work comprising Anti-Oedipus (1972) and A Thousand Plateaus (1980). 2) the production of case studies of two transdisciplinary 'problematics' (or fields of problems): anti-humanism and gender study. 3) The exploration of a distinctively 'Romantic' transdisciplinarity, through a retrospective investigation of the transdisciplinary dynamics of early German Romanticism (1785-1800), including analyses of the function of the general categories of 'art' and 'the new'.Potential applications and benefitsThe theoretical breadth of this project and its diverse case studies mean that it should be of interest to a very broad constituency of academics and others in the arts concerned with what is currently thought of as 'interdisciplinary' studies in the humanities. It aims to reorient this field away from the more conservative notion of interdisciplinarity towards the open, more experimental field of transdisciplinary constructions. As such, it should also be of benefit to those in Science and Technology Studies and Education Studies who use the existing discourse of 'transdisciplinarity', by its criticisms of it and its extension beyond its current limits.

二十世纪后期，英语世界的人文学科因接受法国和德国的哲学和批判理论而发生了转变，这些哲学和批判理论以某种方式跨越了现有学科的界限。然而，这种接受是在一系列特定的学科背景（尤其是英国文学研究）中进行的，脱离了对这些作品“跨学科性”的性质和创新潜力的考虑。该项目是对某些概念（例如艺术、性别和新概念）在人文研究背景下跨学科边界发挥作用的方式进行的理论调查。最近在科学技术研究和教育研究中都发展了关于“跨学科性”的明确论述。然而，这些主要关注解决问题的技术方法（在日常和政策背景下）和知识的社会组织。在这两种情况下，这个想法都没有与20世纪60年代以来人文学科的发展联系起来，也没有与有关人文学科作为知识和实践主体（或“人类”本身的统一）的统一性的基本理论特征的问题联系起来。传统上，哲学将自己视为提供跨越其他学科的普遍性形式。然而，由于其分析形式的原因，英语哲学对人文学科跨学科一般概念的地位、特征和运作模式问题表现出很少的兴趣。然而，这是哲学浪漫主义的一个特征。因此，人文学科跨学科性的研究必须解决其他领域跨学科性的现有文献，以及跨学科概念与哲学概念的关系问题，从历史上和分析上——通过一种新的方法来处理哲学浪漫主义的遗产。目的和目标本项目旨在解决以下基本问题：什么是人文学科中的跨学科性？一个概念的创造力在多大程度上、以什么方式与其跨学科的构建、应用或潜力相关联？它的目标之一是：1）对来自德国和法国批评传统的一本主要的、富含哲学知识的跨学科文本的跨学科结构和动态进行案例研究，以及批判性和比较分析——这些书对最近的英语著作产生了重大影响。我们建议比较马克斯·霍克海默和西奥多·W·阿多诺的《启蒙辩证法》（1944；1947）和吉尔·德勒兹和费利克斯·瓜塔里的两卷本著作，包括《反俄狄浦斯》（1972）和《千高原》（1980）。 2）对两个跨学科“问题”（或问题领域）进行案例研究：反人文主义和性别研究。 3）通过对早期德国浪漫主义（1785-1800）的跨学科动态的回顾性调查，包括对“艺术”和“新”一般类别的功能的分析，探索独特的“浪漫”跨学科性。潜在的应用和好处该项目的理论广度及其多样化的案例研究意味着它应该引起非常广泛的学者和其他群体的兴趣艺术领域涉及目前被认为是人文学科的“跨学科”研究。它的目的是重新定位这一领域，从更保守的跨学科概念转向开放的、更具实验性的跨学科建设领域。因此，它也应该对那些使用现有“跨学科性”话语的科学技术研究和教育研究的人们有益，因为它对它的批评及其超出其当前限制的延伸。
