Mol 138: "The concept of the boundary object grows out of the idea that there are different social worlds. These different social worlds each have their own codes, habits, instruments, and ways of making sense. But they share something: the boundary object. The specific meanings each of them attaches to this object are different. But [...] the boundary object doesn't seem to be two or three different objects. It remains fuzzy enough to absorb the possible tensions."
