The article reconstructs Susan Leigh Star's conceptual work on the notion of 'boundary objects'. It traces the emergence of the concept, beginning with her PhD thesis and its publication as Regions of the Mind in 1989. 'Boundary objects' attempt to represent the distributed, multifold nature of scientific work and its mediations between different 'social worlds'. Being addressed to several 'communities of practice', the term responded to questions from Distributed Artificial Intelligence in Computer Science, Workplace Studies and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), and microhistorical approaches inside the growing Science and Technology Studies. Yet the interdisciplinary character and interpretive flexibility of Star’s invention has rarely been noticed as a conceptual tool for media theory. I therefore propose to reconsider Star's 'Durkheim test' for sociotechnical media practices.
本文重构了苏珊·利·斯塔关于“边界对象”概念的理论著作。文章追溯了这一概念的起源，始于她的博士论文以及该论文于1989年以《心灵的区域》为名出版。“边界对象”试图展现科学工作的分布式、多重性质及其在不同“社会世界”之间的中介作用。该术语针对多个“实践共同体”，回应了计算机科学中的分布式人工智能、工作场所研究、计算机支持的协同工作（CSCW）以及新兴的科学技术研究中的微观历史研究方法所提出的问题。然而，斯塔这一发明的跨学科特征和解释灵活性，作为一种媒介理论的概念工具，却很少被人注意到。因此，我提议重新审视斯塔针对社会技术媒介实践的“涂尔干测试”。
