“…This might not have been a problem if it were not for the fact that it creates problems for accomplishing the general agenda they agree upon, which is to take the multimediality into account in the analysis of human expressions. But instead of making another discipline of multimedia documents like the new media studies, it might be useful to follow the advice by Chandler (2004, p. 359): “[…] to rearticulate the disciplinary system after three decades of ‘add‐on’ fields and programs.”…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is first to provide a critical conceptual discussion of different use of the notion of text, especially in the case of expressions including words as well as images, second to consider the notion of document as an alternative to the notion of text, and finally to lay out a theoretical ground for a broad discipline of documentation studies.Design/methodology/approachThe approach took the form of a conceptual analysis of a number of works in media and literary studies.FindingsThere were found a number of cases of contradictory use of the notion of text within the same work, talking about text in a broad overall sense covering all media as well as text as a distinctive concept separating words from images, while it was found through a conceptual history of the notion of document that the latter notion not only covers a written paper, but multiple media.Research limitations/implicationsIn future research, one should consider the use of document as the concept for the expressions as a whole and dedicate the notion of text solely for the verbal part of the expressions and make more empirical analysis within this conceptual framework to see if it makes a difference in practice to change the overall concept from text to document.Practical implicationsHaving a broad concept of document, it would be possible to be more flexible regarding the choose of proper media for documentation.Originality/valueBy making a critique of the notion of text and suggesting a broader concept of document as well as documentation, the paper provides a ground for reconsidering the classical disciplinary structure, divided into humanities as well as the information sciences and social sciences.

“…mainly address typical questions for the discipline and answer them with theories and methods from the discipline, with limited dependence on other disciplines. Scientific disciplines can be seen as specific types of discourses (Chandler, 2003) which discipline knowledge through procedures of exclusion. These strictly regulate who are allowed to be a knowledge producer, allowed methods of knowledge production and what criteria the product must agree with to be credited as scientific knowledge.…”

The biannual NESS Research Conferences have become a valued tradition. From a relatively humble beginning in the early 1990's, these conferences have grown to become truly international events. The Nordic region shares democratic and social values and at the same time has, to a large extent, the same environmental challenges.In 2007, it is twenty years since the Brundtland-commission came with the report "Our common future". They launched the most common definition of sustainable development and, as a consequence, gave the global perspective in environmental policy its absolute breakthrough.Twenty years later, this perspective has become even more relevant. Nature consists of common-pool resources, and environmental problems are border crossing. The 8 th NESS conference in Oslo, Norway June 18-20.looked into how the international community, nations and local communities meet common challenges on the environmental area. Furthermore, we discussed how the internationalisation of environmental politics creates challenges, constraints and opportunities on the local, national and global level.These themes provided a good starting point for interesting discussions and new acquaintances. The conference gathered approximately 80 researchers from the Nordic countries, the Netherlands and Germany.

“…If Biglan’s taxonomy favors the paradigm‐skeptic Menand over the paradigm‐seeking Harpham, it also suggests that disciplines are dynamic and relational entities, whose identities draw on their place in a larger, and always changing, institutional structure. The picture that emerges bears comparison to what James Chandler calls “critical disciplinarity:”“the totality of the disciplines at any given time should be articulated not as a set of territories, or even as a set of parallel functions, or box of tools, but as a network of relatively autonomous practices in asymmetrical relation to each other” (Chandler 360, Klein 2004, 2005). Imagined as just such a network of practices made meaningful within a changing, social institution of learning and knowledge, the humanities come to look more like the heirs of the Renaissance studia humanitatis than the outposts of a twentieth‐century anthropocentrism, more like a discipline than a doctrine, and more, I suggest, like the work that we in the humanities actually do 15…”

Renaissance Humanism and the Future of the Humanities

The academic humanities trace their origins to the Renaissance. Yet recent discussions of the humanities despite their profusion and visibility, have ignored recent scholarship on Renaissance humanism, which challenges long‐held ideas about the humanities’ historical origins and meanings. This essay surveys both bodies of work, asking what recent scholarship on Renaissance humanism can offer our current understanding of the humanities, their purposes and functions, and their future.
