ABSTRACT
In both of these cases, the historians took the boundary object as a means of successful interaction through a point of contact. is paper, however, makes use of the image a little differently: the boundary objects between the two networks discussed here define a sticking point, rather than encouraging an easy flow between the serologists of the League of Nations and the workers of the Institut Pasteur. Our boundary objects are more like the tall stone that represented the ancient Roman god called Terminus, who marked the limit of a property, and was worshipped with blood.4
