Abstract

This article reveals, criticizes, and attempts to overcome the systemic divides between the ideals of an interdisciplinarily employed archive and the realities of a disciplinarily deployed academy. Following an initial section on “Parameters and Proposals” in which I frame the ambit and arguments to follow, in “Religious Studies as Nondiscipline” I argue against the view that religious studies constitutes a discrete discipline. In “Interdisciplinarity and Nondisciplines” I theorize interdisciplinarity and argue for a conceptual relationship between it and the study of religion. Subsequent sections on “Interdisciplinarity in the Practice” and “An Interdisciplinarity in Practice” relate the practical consequences of my account for university-based professional religious studies, and provide an exemplary case study of the alternative approach advanced. Finally, in “Archive and Academe” I draw on contemporary theorizations of the archive to propose the study of religion, as here conceived, to be preeminently located to enact long overdue structural change in academe.
非学科的跨学科性:宗教研究中的档案与学术
本文揭示、批评并试图克服跨学科使用档案的理想与学科部署学院的现实之间的系统性分歧。在“参数和建议”的第一节中,我阐述了要遵循的范围和论点,在“宗教研究作为非学科”中,我反对宗教研究构成一个离散学科的观点。在《跨学科与非学科》一书中,我将跨学科理论化,并主张它与宗教研究之间存在概念关系。随后关于“实践中的跨学科性”和“实践的跨学科”的章节讲述了我对大学专业宗教研究的描述的实际后果,并提供了一个关于所提出的替代方法的示例性案例研究。最后,在《档案与学术》一书中,我借鉴了档案的当代理论,提出了对宗教的研究,正如这里所设想的那样,处于卓越的位置,以实现学术界早该发生的结构变革。

期刊介绍: Numen publishes papers representing the most recent scholarship in all areas of the history of religions. It covers a diversity of geographical regions and religions of the past as well as of the present. The approach of the journal to the study of religion is strictly non-confessional. While the emphasis lies on empirical, source-based research, typical contributions also address issues that have a wider historical or comparative significance for the advancement of the discipline. Numen also publishes papers that discuss important theoretical innovations in the study of religion and reflective studies on the history of the discipline.
