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.

在二十世纪后期，英语世界中的人类通过接受法国和德国哲学和批判理论的类型来改变，这些理论以一种或另一种方式在现有学科的界限上起作用。但是，这种接收是在一系列特定的纪律环境（尤其是英语文学研究）中进行的，这些环境与这些作品“跨学科性”的性质和创新潜力分离。该项目是对某些概念的方式进行的理论投资 - 例如，在科学和技术研究和教育研究中，最近都在人们开发了有关“跨学科性”的人类搜索范围内部纪律处分方面的纪律处分。但是，这些主要集中于解决问题的技术方法（在每一天和政策环境中）和知识的社会组织。自1960年代以来，这两种想法都与人类的发展联系在一起，或者与人类作为知识和实践的团结（或“人类”本身的统一）的基本理论特征的问题。传统上，哲学认为自己是提供跨越其他学科的普遍性的形式。但是，由于其分析形成的原因，英语哲学对人类跨学科的一般概念的状态，性格和功能方式的问题几乎没有兴趣。但是，这是哲学浪漫主义的特征。因此，对人类的跨学科性研究必须解决其他领域的跨学科文献，以及通过历史和分析的跨学科概念与哲学概念与哲学概念之间的关系的问题，这是通过对哲学浪漫主义的遗产的新方法来解决哲学浪漫主义和客观性问题的新方法，旨在解决基本问题：人类的人类涉及人类的宗教问题？以及与跨学科结构，应用或潜力相关的概念的创造力在多大程度上和以什么方式？它具有其目标之一：1）案例研究的产生以及批判性和比较分析，对一个主要的，哲学上知情的跨学科文本的跨学科结构和动态，这些文本从每个德国和法国的批判性传统中 - 对最近的英语工作产生了重大影响。我们建议比较Max Horkheimer和Theodor W. Adorno的《启蒙辩证法》（1944年； 1947年）和Gilles Deleuze和FélixGuattari的两批作品，完成了Anti-OEDIPUS（1972）和一千个高原（1980）。 2）两个跨学科“问题”（或问题领域）的案例研究的产生：反人类主义和性别研究。 3）通过回顾性的调查调查，对德国早期浪漫主义的跨学科动态进行回顾，包括对“艺术”的一般类别的分析，以及“新的”的概述和有益于案例的理论，这是对案例的理论和有益的，这是对案例的理论和有益的，这是对案例的理论，这是对案例的理论，这是对案例的理论，这是对一般性的范围，从而探索了跨学科的动态（1785-1800），包括分析一般类别。与目前认为是人类“跨学科”研究有关的艺术。它的目的是将该领域重新定向，从更保守的跨学科性通知到跨学科结构的开放，更实验性领域。因此，它对科学，技术研究和教育研究中的人们也应该有好处，他们通过其关键主义及其超出其当前限制的关键主义及其扩展，利用现有的“跨学科性”论述。
