SPACE AS A TRANSDISCIPLINARY CATEGORY<\/strong><\/p>\n

The project \u201cSpace as a transdisciplinary category\u201d aims to investigate, from a metatheoretical and comparative perspective, fundamental questions related to the ways in which the category space is used in some areas of knowledge. Based on the diversity of functions and meanings attributed to the category within the scope of Literary Theory, the aim is to critically assess how this diversity manifests itself in the following areas: Philosophy, Physics, Architecture and Urbanism, Geography, Semiotics, Linguistics, Art Theory (other areas may be incorporated into the investigation, based on contact with the respective researchers). The aim is in particular to: a) evaluate the parameters that, in each area, validate the term as a concept, as well as the historical variations of such parameters; b) investigate the existence of conceptual lines of force that, in the conformation of the category space, are common to more than one area; c) evaluate to what extent these lines of force are inserted in broader theoretical traditions, which may represent comparable paradigms of knowledge, d) analytically link the ways of approaching space in each area to the epistemological assumptions \u2013 definition of objects of study, circumscription of the conceptual field, establishment of research methodologies \u2013 that govern it; e) investigate the existence of incipient or little-known possibilities for theoretical treatment of space in each area, questioning to what extent they constitute expansions of already consolidated possibilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
