| Zusammenfassung: | This article reveals, criticizes, and attempts to overcome the systemic divides between the ideals of an interdisciplinarily employed archive and the realities of a disciplinarily deployed academy. Following an initial section on “Parameters and Proposals” in which I frame the ambit and arguments to follow, in “Religious Studies as Nondiscipline” I argue against the view that religious studies constitutes a discrete discipline. In “Interdisciplinarity and Nondisciplines” I theorize interdisciplinarity and argue for a conceptual relationship between it and the study of religion. Subsequent sections on “Interdisciplinarity in the Practice” and “An Interdisciplinarity in Practice” relate the practical consequences of my account for university-based professional religious studies, and provide an exemplary case study of the alternative approach advanced. Finally, in “Archive and Academe” I draw on contemporary theorizations of the archive to propose the study of religion, as here conceived, to be preeminently located to enact long overdue structural change in academe. |
