Publisher's Synopsis

This volume examines the way in which we organize knowledge into disciplines, then reorganize it into new configurations when the existing disciplines have come to seem irrelevant or exclusory. Joe Moran traces the history and use of the term interdisciplinarity and tackles such vital topics as:

the rise of the disciplines
interdisciplinary English
Literary and Cultural Studies
'theory' and the disciplines
texts and histories
literature, science, space and nature.

Interdisciplinarity is the ideal entry point into one of today's most heated critical debates.
