An epistemological awakening: Michel de Certeau and the writing of culture
The historian and theorist Michel de Certeau offers a challenge and a promise to all those involved in the practice of `writing culture¿. Part of the promise that his work contains is for a true interdisciplinarity that is fashioned out of a much more integrated approach to culture; but it is also a promise that suggests an approach to culture that is much more responsive to the particularity and peculiarity of culture (an `interdiscipline¿ that would refashion itself in its response to its object). The challenge that de Certeau offers is one fundamental to anyone writing culture now: how to write of reality, truth, actuality, in the face of the massive epistemological scepticism generated by poststructuralism.
