INTERDISCIPLINARY WORK REVISITED

Roberto Follari

SUMMARY. Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary concepts are not new, but they purport to be. Their peak years in the seventies, not to mention the ideological debates that inspired them, are not widely known. Currently, they are referred to as if they were intrinsically critical and contrary to established thinking; this, in spite of the evidence that technocratic programs to put the scientific community at the service of large-scale capital (Gibbons) insist on them as an integral part of their drive to eliminate specific theoretical order in favor of an efficientist application. Any different use of the interdisciplinary concept should highlight its difference vis-à-vis this postulation, not ignore it.

KEY WORDS: Interdisciplinary, ideology, the executive class, application, Modernity.

AESTHETIC OF THE COMPLEX THOUGHT

Denise Najmanovich

SUMMARY. The present paper proposes to demonstrate the formative aspects of thought, particularly in the case of complexity approaches. Throughout the Twentieth Century, and especially in the last decades of the same one, the transparency began to guard itself that it prevented to see the representational conceptions of the knowledge like theories, and therefore interpretations. The crisis of the positivism thought jointly with the development of new paradigms in sciences put seriously the budgets naturalized on the knowledge at issue. At the moment the approaches of the complexity face the challenge to develop an aesthetic one of the

knowledge that qualifies new productions of sense to give account of a world in accelerated mutation. Aesthetic of the complex thought is based on a dynamics links non-dualist that abdicates of the absolute ones to undertake the risky task, but powerful, of an elucidation and production of contextual and responsible sense.

KEY WORDS: Aesthetic, complex thought, dynamics links, paradoxes, networks.

TRANSDISCIPLINARISM: BEYOND CONCEPTS, THE DIALECTIC

L. Alejandro Peñuela Velásquez

SUMMARY. This text has two objectives. The first is to make a critical analysis of the use of the concept of "interdisciplinary" (typologies) from the stand-point of a contextual approximation with the goal of overcoming truisms, received wisdom, and confusions. The second is to try to name some problematic elements of the practical dimension of interdisciplinary work and to propose some points that should be addressed and...
