- W12271096 abstract "What is the mark of in contemporary theory? Or more generally, how are we to regard demarcation of a phenomenon or a domain of scholarly inquiry? If we remain within long honored and companionate discourses of Enlightenment and the scientific world view, answers are readily forthcoming. In comprehending world in which we live, in submitting it to rational analysis and empirical scrutiny, ontological clarity is imperative. We must carefully delineate among entities, or else thinking becomes clouded and research may become irrelevant. Clarity in such matters is also important for purposes of professional efficacy. With domains of study carefully delineated, goals of various professions are legitimated, we avoid redundancy of effort, and we encourage scholarship in depth. In present context, to distinguish social from psychological, interpersonal from societal, relational from autonomous, then, is to lay foundations for productive and complementary disciplines of inquiry. Yet, as scholarship has accelerated exponentially within present century, we have also become fitfully aware of limitations of this rage to order. As various enclaves lay claim to territories of real, so do they insulate themselves from dialogues of neighboring (and typically less important) domains. When experts from otherwise alienated encampments do attempt collaboration, their models are often ill-fitting: hypothesis testing in one domain conflicts with multi-variate modeling in another; organismic metaphors favored by one clash with mechanistic metaphors of other; nativist explanations collide with environmentalist; and so on. Further, each circumscribed basis of explanation appears capable of infinite expansion, ultimately absorbing all human action in its propositional corpus (for example, tracing all action to cognitive schemata, biogenetics, micro-social process, etc.). All contending forms of explanation are reduced to single frame and alterior argots dismissed as irrelevant or obfuscating. Finally, we have witnessed in past decade a mushrooming of hybrid areas of scholarship Black studies, women’s studies, environmental studies, cultural studies, queer studies, and more. Here and elsewhere we find a generalized restlessness with traditional disciplinary boundaries. Urban sociology begins to converge with anthropology, social psychology with social linguistics, psychology with evolutionary biology, cultural anthropology with literary analysis, and so on. In all these adventures, demarcation on either phenomenal or explanatory grounds is obstructive. We gain most, it is argued, when language goes on holiday. More importantly, various intellectual movements of past thirty years raise" @default.
