History, Social and human sciences, Archival science, Information science. Paths for the creation of common scientific spaces

Abstract

The article is a contribution to the creation of common scientific spaces between sciences that currently have great vitality and epistemological diversity around the theme of "Archives", but which often do not collaborate in a sustained way: Social sciences and humanities - in which History stands out - Information Science and Archivistics. Under the banner of cross-perspectives, the aim is to contribute to a better dissemination of the global issue and assessments of the disciplinary fields, as well as to relaunch the debate on the interdisciplinary creation of common scientific fields, in which the various sciences are presente on egual positions. The text develops in six main points, distributed over three major themes, in successive extensions: theme 1 calls for interdisciplinary cross-fertilization, from strong areas congregated around Information Science and Archival Science; theme 2 extends to the wider universe of Social sciences and humanities, and theme 3 places itself, in transversal interdisciplinarity, in the area of "Citizen Science", which allows an opening to society based on the contents of the different scientific areas and their interdisciplinary cooperation.
