Interdisciplinary Framework

AbstractIn this chapter, the authors ask how to broaden the salutogenic paradigm’s scope into an interdisciplinary framework and include other social concepts in its research. As one example of such interdisciplinary research, the authors review some new studies in conflict areas investigating intergroup relations. By relating to such areas of research, they try to address not only the “classic” question – who copes successfully and stays healthy – but also other salutogenic questions such as “who expresses more openness to the other?”

The Difference

Abstract Indigenous cultures of North America confronted a problem of knowledge different from that of canonical European philosophy. The European problem is to identify and overcome obstacles to the perfection of knowledge as science, while the Indigenous problem is to conserve a legacy of practice fused with a territory. Complicating the difference is that one of these traditions violently colonized the other, and with colonization the Indigenous problem changes. The old problem of inter-generational stability cannot be separated from the post-colonial problem of sovereignty in the land where the knowledge makes sense. I differentiate the question of the value of knowledge (Part 1), and its content (Part 2). The qualities these epistemologies favor define what I call ceremonial knowledge, that is, knowledge that sustains a ceremonial community. The question of content considers the interdisciplinary research of Indigenous and Traditional Ecological Knowledge, as well as the issue of epistemic decolonization.

Cognitive Challenges

This paper synthesizes findings from two studies the author conducted that examine how engagement in interdisciplinary research (IDR) influences scholars’ careers. Results from these two studies, one large-scale and quantitative and the other small-scale and qualitative, provide a much needed empirical assessment of IDR’s effects on individual careers. In essence, they provide a nice antidote (and some caution) to the rhetoric and enthusiasm surrounding IDR. My co-authors of these studies and I find that engaging in interdisciplinary research increases a scholar’s visibility in terms of citations, but also presents challenges, including reduced productivity, cognitive challenges, lack of support, extra time and commitment, and framing of one’s work. This paper concludes by discussing the policy implications of this research.

Aesthetic Values

The purpose of the article is to prove the expediency and scientific, methodological, conceptual, and categorical potential of Cultural studies as a science that may offer an updated perspective for the study of the problem of aesthetic values. Methodology. Methods of scientific analysis, comparison, and generalization during the elaboration of the source base and the method of systematization are used to determine the traditional and innovative directions of research of the problem of aesthetic values. Scientific novelty. The article considers the interdisciplinary and generalizing potential of Cultural studies on the example of the problem of study aesthetic values. The existing tendency to move the analysis of problems of humanities from separate sciences to the plane of interdisciplinary is emphasized. It was accented on the novelty and relevance of such interdisciplinary research within Cultural studies. Conclusions. The approach of Cultural studies offers an increase in the scale of generalization from aesthetic to actually global, which combines the experience of studying scientific problems in the traditional and extended areas. Given the fact that on the one hand, all material and spiritual values which surround man were born from culture, because culture is the cumulative result of productive human activity, and, on the other hand, culture absorbs them, being phenomenon generalized, interdisciplinary approach of Cultural studies is able to suggest an updated perspective on this problem on the border of traditional and non-traditional sciences and through the improvement of its conceptual and categorical apparatus to offer new ways to study.

This essay explores efforts to establish interdisciplinary research associations by comparing two organizations that were founded in the early 1980s. One has focused on the field of politics and the life sciences and the other on health services research. Both are involved in securing recognition for a research area—or “field of research”—that had not previously been conceptualized as a coherent academic or professional enterprise. The motivation for this paper is my interest in politics and the life sciences (the field), the organization—the Association for Politics and the Life Sciences that was established in 1980 to foster scholarly study of the field—and its journal Politics and the Life Sciences. (For the sake of clarity I adopt the convention of signifying a field entirely in lower-case orthography, beginning an organizational name with capital letters and naming the related journals in italics.)

Oriented Approach

Abstract This study is motivated by the assumption that today’s function-oriented game localisation approach has room for improvement by incorporating an affect-oriented approach. It draws on the concept of “affective framing” in a game with humour as “emotionally competent stimuli”. Laughter as emotion data were collected from German, Japanese and Irish participants playing in their native language relevant versions of the US-origin casual game Plants vs. Zombies. This small-scale empirical study, combined with gamer interviews and gameplay trajectory, reveal evidence of specific functions of gamer emotions across all three groups, most often as a relief during game play, facilitating the gamer’s ability to retain engagement by accessing the emotional function of humour. The data suggest that affective framing through humour that is made culturally relevant is deemed more important for the German group than the other groups. This group negatively perceived cultural stereotypes in the game, whereas the Irish group perceived cultural associations positively. The focus on user emotions brings the neglected affective dimension to the fore and towards affect-oriented game localisation as interdisciplinary research.

Crucial Test

Contradictory findings, that economic inequality may have a positive, negative, or no impact on political conflict, are a puzzle for conflict studies. Three approaches have been used t o explain the inconsistent findings of the EI-PC (Economic Inequality-Political Conflict) nexus: statistical modeling, formal modeling, and theory building. Because analysts have tended to possess different research skills, these three approaches have been employed in isolation from one another. Singly, however, all three approaches have proved deficient and are unlikely to solve the EI-PC puzzle. The most fruitful approach is to combine the assumptions of the theory builders and the deductive approach of the formal modelers with the various empirical tests of the statistical modelers. Such an approach to the EI-PC puzzle produces a crucial test of the Deprived Actor and Rational Actor theories of conflict. The approach is also our best hope for solving the other long-standing puzzles in conflict studies.

O artigo objetiva trazer ao debate a relação literatura e cidade como campo interdisciplinar de pesquisa. Serve-se de revisão bibliográfica sobre essa relação e, a partir da seleção de dois autores - Machado de Assis e Graciliano Ramos, analisa como a produção cientifica nacional em teses e dissertações defendidas entre 2000 e 2015 se apropria desse potencial investigativo. Adicionalmente, toma o caso de Graciliano Ramos para a identificação de possíveis caminhos metodológicos neste campo interdisciplinar. O debate sobre trabalhos que integrem ou possam integrar literatura e cidade indica que, se, por um lado, há uma recorrência de concordâncias sobre a riqueza dessa interdisciplinaridade; por outro, é reduzido o número de pesquisas com essa perspectiva específica. Mais que isso, é possível observar que áreas tradicionalmente afeitas ao urbanismo gestão urbana, design, arquitetura e planejamento não estão presentes no restrito número de pesquisas que foi possível selecionar, havendo uma concentração exclusiva na área da própria literatura.Palavras-chave: Cidade e literatura.

It is developed based a bibliographic review on such relation and, guided by a selection of two Brazilian authors, Machado de Assis and Graciliano Ramos, analyses how the national academic production in dissertations and thesis - defended thought 2000 to 2015 - refers and takes advantage from this rich interdisciplinary. Additionally, we take the work and public life of Graciliano Ramos to identify possible methodological paths in such interdisciplinary field. In the search of researches that combine interests in literature and cities, we could observe that, on one side, there is a consensus on the importance of different multi scientific approaches; on the other it is reduced the number of researches adopting this procedure. More than that, it is possible to conclude that areas closely connected to urbanism, like urban management, design, architecture and planning are absent in the restrict number of researches considered appropriated for this discussion.Keywords:  City and Literature.

Además, toma el caso del escritor Graciliano Ramos para la identificación de posibles enfoques metodológicos en este campo interdisciplinario. El debate sobre trabajos académicos que integran o que desean integrar literatura con ciudad indica que, por un lado, hay una grande concordancia de la riqueza de este enfoque interdisciplinario; en el otro, que hay todavía un muy bajo número de resultados con esta perspectiva específica. Más que eso, se puede ver qué áreas de estudio tradicionalmente relacionadas con el urbanismo,la gestión urbana, el diseño y la planificación no están presentes en el limitado número de resultados encontrados.Palabras clave: Ciudad y literatura.
