Example text
The failure to generate a single authoritative interpretation marks the success of interdisciplinarity in destabilizing knowledge. Yet this destabilization still corresponds to liberal politics. By coordinating several approaches, assumptions, or methodologies yet stopping short of evaluating this conjunction, interdisciplinarity seems wary of staking a position that might offend critics from other disciplines. If ‘‘radical indeterminacy is . . characteristic of modern democracy,’’ as Chantal Mouffe insists, then insofar as interdisciplinarity has a politics, it appears democratic.
28 As sexual conduct books proscribed the parameters of antislavery reform, white men become libidinally bound to castigated representations of blackness, their political outlook contracted to a physiological horizon. This mortal embodiment of cultural critique—a notable effect of Emerson’s early essays—impoverishes political discourse, rendering it a matter of proclivity rather than a question of systemic injustice. The next two chapters look at how mesmerism, spiritual mediumship, and the occult imagined a world of departed souls that influenced the here and now, particularly in the ways men and women idealized passivity and quietude as hallmarks of citizenship.
I want to resist this, however. The reluctance to proclaim allegiance to interdisciplinary scholarship emerges neither from an unwillingness to make clear a methodology nor a coy maneuver to imply that my understanding and use of interdisciplinarity are still more radical. Rather, it originates in an attempt to think about and privilege literature as sociopolitical critique. 36 Parts of this study are a critique of liberal politics, and in the course of this project, I have come to suspect that interdisciplinarity is often a liberal methodology that organizes research around coherence and consensus.
