Résumé
Alors que la « transdisciplinarité » est un terme utilisé de manière croissante, au regard notamment de son potentiel pour éclairer les problématiques complexes telles que mises en avant par les sciences de la durabilité, les contours de ses définitions demeurent flous. En m’appuyant sur mon expérience de mobilisation d’un outil spécifique de recherche participative basé sur la photographie – photovoice- je présente, ici, une analyse de la transdisciplinarité par la pratique. Il s’agira ainsi de montrer par le terrain comment cette démarche scientifique propose une approche critique de la construction des connaissances au travers d’une (in)discipline rigoureuse. La transdisciplinarité apparait ainsi comme une épistémologie transformatrice, produisant des connaissances qui peuvent provoquer des transformations au niveau des socio-écosystèmes. Il s’agit également d’une transformation épistémologique, ce sont en effet des connaissances co-construites qui mobilisent des modes de raisonnements holistiques, itératifs, et relationnels. La vision de la transdisciplinarité développée dans cet article l’inscrit dans une perspective engagée de déconstruction des rapports de pouvoir inhérents aux processus de co-construction des connaissances.

Abstract
While “transdisciplinarity” is a term that is increasingly being used, particularly with regard to its potential to shed light on complex issues as highlighted by sustainability sciences, the contours of its definitions remain unclear. Based on my experience of mobilizing a specific participatory research tool based on photography – photovoice – I propose an analysis of transdisciplinarity through practice. A field work analysis will show how this scientific approach offers a critical approach to the construction of knowledge through a rigorous (in)discipline. Transdisciplinarity thus appears as a transformative epistemology, producing knowledge that can cause transformations at the level of socio-ecosystems, but also as an epistemological transformation, it is indeed co-constructed knowledge that mobilizes holistic, iterative, and relational modes of reasoning. The vision of transdisciplinarity developed in this article places it within an engaged perspective of deconstructing the power relations inherent in knowledge co-construction processes.
