The paper offers a reconstruction of the origins of disciplines particularly in German-speaking countries, through the contributions of Jacob Christoph Burckhardt, Friedrich Engels, George Simmel, Camillo Sitte, Max Weber, just to name a few, and the way in which their work shaped cultures and systematizations of knowledge. Using a dialogical form, scholars with different education discuss how and when different interests and stream of researches crystallized into disciplines, and how and when they have approached or moved away from each other over time depending on the predominance of questions or problems, but also in relation with changes in the political context or even for ideological reasons.
Il contributo presenta una ricostruzione delle origini di quattro discipline (urbanistica, sociologia urbana, cultural history e geografia urbana), in particolare nei paesi di lingua tedesca, attraverso i contributi di Jacob Christoph Burckhardt, Friedrich Engels, George Simmel, Camillo Sitte, Max Weber (solo per citarne alcuni), e il modo in cui il loro lavoro ha dato forma alla cultura e ha contribuito alla sistematizzazione della conoscenza. Usando una forma dialogica, studiosi con una diversa formazione discutono di come e quando diversi interessi e filoni di ricerca si sono cristallizzati in discipline, e come e quando nel tempo si sono avvicinati o allontanati l‘uno dall‘altro, a seconda della predominanza di questioni o problemi, ma anche in relazione con i cambiamenti nel contesto politico, o per ragioni ideologiche.

Abstract
The paper offers a reconstruction of the origins of disciplines particularly in German-speaking countries, through the contributions of Jacob Christoph Burckhardt, Friedrich Engels, George Simmel, Camillo Sitte, Max Weber, just to name a few, and the way in which their work shaped cultures and systematizations of knowledge. Using a dialogical form, scholars with different education discuss how and when different interests and stream of researches crystallized into disciplines, and how and when they have approached or moved away from each other over time depending on the predominance of questions or problems, but also in relation with changes in the political context or even for ideological reasons.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
