Subject: Disciplinary boundaries / historical sciences
Maris Roze asked a few days ago how we might mark "the distinction between
the humanities and the social sciences as these relate to courses in history
and to 'interdisciplinary' offerings in the area known as Science,
Technology, and Society. How would we be shaping history and STS courses,
for example, if we wanted them to be either humanities or social science
offerings?"
Willard McCarty followed up with a more general question:
How do we define the boundary between the humanities and the social
sciences other than in institutional terms? Is there, as seems to me, a
very large overlap between these two discipline groups? (Archaeology and
anthropology, for example, are sometimes found in one group, sometimes in
another; History is usually considered one of the humanities but has
strong affinities to the social sciences.)
In the context of these queries HUMANIST readers might be interested in a
list called Darwin-L which is devoted specifically to interdisciplinary
studies in the historical sciences, by which we mean evolutionary biology,
historical linguistics, archeology, geology, textual transmission, history
proper, and any other field that addresses the reconstruction of the past.
(In spite of its apparently narrow name, Darwin-L is does not focus
exclusively on evolutionary biology.) William Whewell in the nineteenth
century coined the term "palaetiology" for these historical sciences taken
together, and palaetiology is Darwin-L's domain.
Like HUMANIST, Darwin-L has been a good example of the ability of the
Internet to bring together scholars from a range of different disciplines
who share a certain interest (such as reconstructing the past), but who
would not be likely ever to go to one another real life conferences. (How
many historical linguists go to the meetings of the Society of Systematic
Biology?)
Darwin-L has a web site at http://rjohara.uncg.edu and interested parties
are cordially invited to pay us a visit. Alternatively, you may send the
message INFO DARWIN-L to listserv@ukanaix.cc.ukans.edu for more information.
The web site includes an archive of all the past discussions on Darwin-L,
as well as a page of links to other web sites in the historical sciences.
