(Inter-)Disziplinarität in der Diskursforschung: zur Genealogie epistemischer Modelle und intellektueller Technologien

Abstract

"Is discourse research a disciplinary or an interdisciplinary project? Starting from this question the perspective is reversed and disciplinarity itself is viewed as a discursive phenomenon. The paper develops the thesis that disciplinarity is produced in the discursive practices of the field of science, and examines how it is used in relation to epistemic models and intellectual technologies. A historical sketch of the genealogy of epistemologies shows the extent to which different ways of analysis stand in a discursive struggle for the objects of scientific research. In the case of discourse research, it is shown to what extent disciplinarity has become one aspect of power relations in the game of science." (author's abstract)
