If I’ve read the article correctly, all that stuff seems to have mainly to do with avoiding becoming tied to the particular, distinct norms, methods, and standards of the various disciplines CSS might touch, interact with, or be applied to.
It explicitly opposes having no norms or standards. It appears to be intended to stake out CSS as an independent discipline, rather than a study of pure methods that can end up “living under” any of several other academic areas, with mutually incompatible norms and cultures. (I’ve no idea whether that’s, in fact, a good idea)
- dmvdoug 3y agoYeah, I think that’s fair, as I just said in response to a different comment. [0] Of course, the institutional and political factors of universities and funding will make establishing an entirely separate discipline an extreme uphill climb. I suspect the author realizes that when they emphasize the importance of having some traditional disciplinary knowledge.
