Description:	Subject disciplines are the building blocks of the academy. From the orderings of the trivium and quadrivium in classical antiquity, to the presence of divinity, natural philosophy, physick and law in the pre-modern era, and from the emergence of the classical sciences in the enlightenment, to the explosion of professional disciplines and the diversification of the humanities and social sciences in the twentieth century it is disciplinary communities—subject disciplines—that have been one of the most visible constituents of scholarship. Today, many of the academy’s university curricula, library classifications, research council panels and learned societies retain and perpetuate the differentiations and demarcations of these individual subject disciplines. And, at their centre, each of these disciplines typically preserve their own canon of key works, their own common grammar of research questions, as well as core sets of methodologies and even shared protocols of publishing. Offering identity, community and intellectual equipment to their member scholars, academic disciplines remain, in effect, the tribes of scholarship
