Abstract

The purpose of the article is an in-depth analysis of the boundary object conception introduced by J. Griesemer and S. L. Star. An attempt to describe it according to the idea of the authors and to investigate its initial sense is necessary. The author was induced to carry out such an analysis having noticed numerous simplifications and instances of superficial treatment of the issue in manifold studies referring to this idea. The article begins with a definition of the boundary object according to the seminal text of Griesemer and Star. Secondly, it points out the areas of the conception’s application illustrated with examples. In the next step, the author focuses on the cases of inconsequence in the studies using the concept, mainly in relation to Star’s comments. A possibility of intentional creation of boundary objects is also referred to, as it was from the beginning incorporated in the authors’ intention.

Keywords:
