Description
Summary:Everyone is aware that the complexity of the objects of research in the domain of the human and environmental sciences demands an interdisciplinary approach. But the encounter between disciplines does not permit a decompartmentalization of the problematics and modes of expression brought together. Signs are made from one domain to another in the absence of any in-depth communication. The stakes are considerable, as they condition the possibility of any real efficacy in these matters. There is no general pedagogy relative to the constitution of a living transdisciplinarity. It is a matter of initiative, the taste for risk, for exiting pre-established schemas, the maturing of the personality. Once again, much more will be gained in this register by referring to processes of aesthetic creation than to the standardized, planned, bureaucratized visions that reign too frequently in centres of scientific research, laboratories and universities.
