Abstract
O apelo à interdisciplinaridade tornou-se hoje em dia cada vez mais urgente, no que devemos estimular em nossos alunos, professores e pesquisadores um entendimento claro destes complexos (i.e., inter-multi-trans-metadisciplinar), incutindo uma verdadeira vocação reflexiva sobre estes aspectos de organização do conhecimento. Mais até do que um estilo de pesquisa, essa vocação reflexiva transdisciplinar deve expressar-se não apenas em temáticas e abordagens interdisciplinares, mas igualmente atenta a oportunidades de estudo e reflexão multi- e transdisciplinar. Abrindo-se assim à participação na resolução dos desafios societais, na busca do diálogo e colaboração com parceiros sociais, tecendo vínculos extramuros às lógicas mais conservadoras das corporações académica e científica. Pretendemos com este pequeno artigo de análise crítica proporcionar uma introdução ao debate da interdisciplinaridade, situando-o historicamente, estabelecendo uma definição quando aos conceitos consensuais destes complexos e sublinhando os princípios que devem estruturar o estilo de pesquisa interdisciplinar.
The call for interdisciplinarity has become increasingly urgent today. We must encourage in our students, teachers and researchers a clear understanding of these complexes (i.e., inter-multi-transmeta disciplinary), instilling a true reflective vocation on these aspects of both knowledge production
and organization. Even more than a research style, this transdisciplinary reflective vocation must be expressed in interdisciplinary themes and approaches and attentive to opportunities for multi- and
transdisciplinary study and thinking. Thus, a proper stance upon knowledge should be open to participation in the resolving of societal challenges, by actively searching for a dialogue and collaboration with social and community partners, building on extramural links beyond the
conservative logic of academic and scientific corporations. With this short article, we aim to provide a critical analysis, an introduction to the interdisciplinary debate, placing it historically, establishing a consensual definition of these complexes' concepts, and underlining the principles that should
structure an 'interdisciplinary style' of research.
