Abstract
How to evaluate over time the learning of interdisciplinarity in a collective of researchers in human and social sciences? Has scientific activity succeeded in going beyond multidisciplinarity to achieve a form of interdisciplinarity? This article proposes to use textual analysis as a method of evaluating lexical forms used by different disciplines (economics, geography, socio-economics, political science and sociology). The material comes from a compilation of texts written by researchers at UMR ART-Dev and who participated in the Ateliers Méthodologiques et Épistémologiques during four years. The textual analysis of these texts is then restored, after lemmatization, in the form of factorial analysis and clouds of words. At the end of this study, we manage to achieve a quantitative and visual expression of the forms and the intensity of interdisciplinarity in this laboratory.
