interdisciplinarity

 consists in creating a new object that belongs to no one. It is not enough to choose a 'subject' (a theme) and gather around it two or three sciences.

Interdisciplinary work, so much discussed these days, is not about confronting already constituted disciplines (none of which, in fact, is willing to let itself go). To do something interdisciplinary it's not enough to choose a 'subject' (a theme) and gather around it two or three sciences. Interdisciplinary consist in creating a new object that belongs to no one. ROLAND BARTHES, 'Jeunes Chercheurs'

is the idea of transgressing disciplinary boundaries and focusing on 'knowledge practices'.

the need to transgress the disciplinary boundaries of knowledge and instead focus on the 'unbounded' nature of knowledge-practices which might include those of science, the media, politics and commerce' (van Loon 2000:2)
