International symposium for young scholars
Humanities and linguistics: cross disciplinary methodologies
10 - 11 décembre 2015 Amphithéâtre Durkheim - Sorbonne
1 rue Victor Cousin 75005 Paris Université Paris Descartes
This symposium aims to question the critical use of cross-cutting methodologies in the fields of humanities and linguistics. Indeed, in order to give a better account of complex traditional topics such as education, work, family, migration, or to study more recent topics such as the Internet, social networks or gender, scholars started to resort more and more to pluri-, trans- and inter- disciplinary approaches. Thus, young scholars tend sometimes to search outside of their own disciplines for varied and complementary methodologies.
Some cross-cutting methodologies are already firmly established in linguistics as well as in other disciplines of the humanities: thus, for instance, corpora analyses and studies in lexicology, far from being limited to linguists, are used in diverse disciplines such as philosophy, history or communication. Besides, the use of ethnographic fieldwork in many disciplines contributed to thereorganization of disciplinary fields and to the creation of mixed disciplines such as sociolinguistics, ethnolinguistics or linguistic anthropology.
In the same way as cross-cutting methodologies can be used for data collection, scholars often use tools that were initially created in other disciplines in order to analyze their own corpus.
Thus, transcription programs and software for lexicology or discourse analysis are used in different disciplines of the humanities. Besides, new tools have been created for transdisciplinary research.
These methodological choices, beyond their heuristic function, show the need for new theoretical reflections. Moreover, they encourage us to question not only the input, the issues and the perspectives of cross-cutting approaches, but also the possible limits or difficulties that can occur for scholars who want to use these diverse methodologies. Among these difficulties, we can mention both the issue of training for the use of methodologies which are different from our own disciplinary field, and the issue of legitimacy in using them in our research, in an environment where the questioning of disciplinary boundaries is not self-evident.
Therefore, we would like that papers revolve around these topics mentioned before (gathering and analysis of data, questioning of disciplinary boundaries) and question: to what extent one's research topics required the use of cross-cutting methodologies; how the use of these methodologies shed a new light on these topics.
