Unveiling the Essence and Impact of Transdisciplinary Research

Undisciplined Project report from the Research on Research Institute

Project Abstract: The entry investigates how research funders define UI, and looks at a variety of ways of defining UI from different funding bodies. The entry posits that “UI” is polysemous, and the authors describe 3 facets of meaning for UI: Academic/non-academic partnerships; values; and societally impactful research outcomes. The entry describes how proposals for UI research can be properly evaluated, which requires institutions to utilize mixed panels with diverse perspectives of expertise and/or stakeholders, in order to counteract biases, ensure balance, and to address power imbalances within panels. The authors also provide recommendations for how funders can support UI projects across different researchers, including providing time for partnerships to develop, providing funding for early stages of projects, and guiding and training for applicants for funding of TDR projects. The authors also discuss how when UI goes wrong, differences between participants become salient over their shared research goal(s)

English, J. 2008. The Economy of Prestige: Prizes, Awards, and the Circulation of Cultural Value. Harvard University Press.

Publisher Abstract: This is a book about one of the great untold stories of modern cultural life: the remarkable ascendancy of prizes in literature and the arts. Such prizes and the competitions they crown are almost as old as the arts themselves, but their number and power--and their consequences for society and culture at large--have expanded to an unprecedented degree in our day. In a wide-ranging overview of this phenomenon, James F. English documents the dramatic rise of the awards industry and its complex role within what he describes as an economy of cultural prestige. Observing that cultural prizes in their modern form originate at the turn of the twentieth century with the institutional convergence of art and competitive spectator sports, English argues that they have in recent decades undergone an important shift--a more genuine and far-reaching globalization than what has occurred in the economy of material goods. Focusing on the cultural prize in its contemporary form, his book addresses itself broadly to the economic dimensions of culture, to the rules or logic of exchange in the market for what has come to be called "cultural capital." In the wild proliferation of prizes, English finds a key to transformations in the cultural field as a whole. And in the specific workings of prizes, their elaborate mechanics of nomination and election, presentation and acceptance, sponsorship, publicity, and scandal, he uncovers evidence of the new arrangements and relationships that have refigured that field.
