• “Interdisciplinary work is not a peaceful operation: it begins effectively when the solidarity of the old disciplines breaks down, a process made more violent, perhaps, by the jolts of fashion to the benefit of a new object and a new language, neither of which is the domain of those branches of knowledge that one calmly sought to confront.”
Roland Barthes, ‘From Work to Text’ in Textual Strategies, 1979
