Multidisciplinarnost i humanistički diskurs: proučavanje svetlosti

Abstract

Pojedini afirmisani dvadesetovekovni naučni stvaraoci koji su obrazovani u oblasti matematike, fizike ili tehničkih nauka, premostili su jaz između naizgled disparatnih oblasti nauke modulišući istraživanja ka aspektima svetlosti koji su instruktivni u humanistici. Pavle Florenski, Viktor Bičkov, Sergej Horuži, Maks Džemer i Dejvid Lindberg izučavali su svetlost u različitim kontekstima, od prirodnih i tehničkih nauka do istorije, filosofije, ikonografije, estetike i asketizma. Tokom perioda velikih ideoloških i društvenih promena u 20. veku, napori ovih naučnika da razotkriju istorijske i savremene aspekte fenomena svetlosti obogatili su različite oblasti u nauci, iako su se neki od njih susreli sa opstrukcijama i osudama. Pre više od dve decenije, inicijativa dr Dragiše Bojovića sa Univerziteta u Nišu otvorila je prostor u srpskoj nauci, ali i šire, za nove interdisciplinarne i multidisciplinarne integracije, uključujući i fotološke.

Certain established twentieth-century scientists who were educated in the field of mathematics, physics or technical sciences, have bridged the gap between seemingly disparate fields of science by modulating their research towards aspects of light that are instructive in the humanities. Pavel Florensky, Viktor Bychkov, Sergey Horuzhy, David Lindberg and Max Jammer studied light in various contexts, from the natural and technical sciences to history, philosophy, Оrthodox iconography, aesthetics and asceticism. During the time of great ideological and social changes of the 20th century, their efforts to unravel the historical and contemporary aspects of the study of light phenomenon enriched various fields of science, although some of them met obstructions and condemnations. Two decades ago, the initiative of Dr. Dragiša Bojović from the University of Niš have opened space in Serbian science, but also more widely, for new interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary integrations, as well as for the photological studies.
