Book Synopsis
A collection of essays, which examine the genealogy of various fields including English, sociology, economics, psychology, and quantum physics. It challenges the story of disciplinary formation as solely one of consolidation, constraint, and ideological justification.

Trade Review
"To think critically about disciplines—as rich intellectual traditions and supple devices for producing new knowledge rather than as restraining orders and fusty conventions—requires not only uncommon discrimination but also a good measure of contrarian brilliance. Disciplinarity at the Fin de Siècle fits that bill remarkably. The essays collected here will serve to remind readers where our disciplines came from and why they remain, on balance, good things to think with."—Michael Bérubé
