A “Parasitology” of Interdisciplinary Collaborations: Theorizing the Add-on Role of Social Sciences and Humanities, Judith Igelsböck
Abstract Anita Välikangas’s analysis of a broad selection of interdisciplinary funding programs shows that the Social Sciences and Humanities’ (SSH) relegation to subordinate “add-on” roles with limited opportunities for epistemically oriented research in interdisciplinary projects, is already prefigured by funding structures. Beyond holding significant implications for research policy, this finding necessitates a critical reflection on the positionality of the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) within STEM-dominated interdisciplinary collaborations.

"For you I would pass through deserts of fire
Full of burning and ire, waterless and futile

But don't ask me to do what the strongest of men
Seeks to kill deep within, trembling sick to his bones

Because the truth is, there is no safe harbor anymore"

RIP German anthropologist Johannes Fabian, who passed away last Tuesday. Fabian was most widely known as the author of "Time and the Other: How Anthropology Makes its Object" (1983), a then-radical & still-influential critique of anthropological writing, knowledge-making & fieldwork relations. RIP.

L'attaque du Venezuela est le terrible sequel de la guerre en Ukraine : les puissances fossiles en sont réduites à revenir au modèle impérial classique pour sécuriser leur modèle politique.

La décarbonation comme garantie de sécurité reste en haut de l'agenda.

4.3.2 Knowledge does not exist—what would it be (1.4.3)? There is only know-how. In other words, there are crafts and trades. Despite all claims to the contrary, crafts hold the key to knowledge. They make it possible to return "science" to the networks from which it came (Introduction).

"El desafío político de pensar una jurisprudencia de los cuerpos no rechaza al derecho. Al contrario, despliega las capacidades de invención que nos hacen tomar el derecho como oleaje de una memoria de las luchas ocurridas, y de las que están por venir"

Una vez destituida la vieja patraña de un "sujeto único del conocimiento", toca al pensamiento construir perspectivismos, en sus varias versiones, como modos de repoblar la tierra con más ojos.
