In Commons and Borderlands a leading social anthropologist examines
early twenty-first- century interests in interdisciplinarity, with
particular attention to the conjunction of science and society.
Interdisciplinary practice has become well entrenched in any number
of scientific disciplines, or disciplines from the humanities or
from social science for that matter. This does not deter current
rhetoric which sees new opportunities in new combinations of
interests. One arresting strand is the promise that in a strong
form - transdisciplinarity - 'science' might thereby be brought
into 'society'. Marilyn Strathern's questioning of this process
addresses the challenge that notions of property ownership pose to
the expected flow of knowledge. As is fitting for a consideration
of the flow and transformational properties of knowledge, the
contents of this collection are knowingly designated 'working
papers', left as open, unfinished statements to highlight their
future and the work they may still do. Marilyn Strathern is William
Wyse Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge.
