Lecture by Andrej Grubačić on the proposal to undicipline social sciences and to return to Braudel’s project of interscience or singular and unitary historical social science.
Undisciplining Social Science
Social sciences are constructed visions of the changing world and it is inevitable for them to be reconstructed. The question is how are they going to be reorganized, and by whom? It is becoming quite urgent to reinvent social sciences, and recognize the intellectual irrelevance of the disciplinary boundaries created between 1880-1945. This talk will focus on the proposal to “undicipline” social sciences, and to return to Fernand Braudel provocative project of “interscience” or singular and unitary historical social science.
