| Riassunto: | In this article, the author attempts to rethink the concept of interdisciplinarity within the modern university, assuming that researchers always remain part of a larger epistemic infrastructure or culture. The author sees the central problem of the contemporary knowledge production system as the ongoing process of knowledge commodification, with its multiple indicators – parameterisation, standardisation, rapid verification of hypotheses, the primacy of experiment over theory, alleged fact over concept, etc. The author distrusts the currently postulated “easy” idea of interdisciplinarity, understood as the free transfer of knowledge from one field to another, viewing it as a symptom of the contemporary “culture of speed”. Consequently, he seeks positive models of interdisciplinarity that are based not on analogies but on material confrontation with real-world problems and respect for the multiplicity of research practices. Finally, the author raises the question of the possibility of a university that would be a place to bring together people from different disciplines united by the recognition of a similar research problem, rather than by a program or grant. The author calls the new pattern of interdisciplinarity the “critical theory of liminality” or the “critical genealogy of knowledge”. |
