Abstract
Because Gender Studies lie at the border between disciplines, they offer the possibility of borrowing canonical knowledge and approaches from individual disciplines in order to raise originally philosophical issues : questions of the body, language-reality relations, the function of representation, the status of the sign, the mediated character of scientific knowledge, and the relation between nature and culture. These questions circulate not only at the border between disciplines, but also at the boundary between scientific and popular knowledge. In this sense, transdisciplinary collaboration is fundamentally « anti-disciplinary », a fact that should be taken into account not only in our publications but also in our teaching. In this perspective, teachers become learners, and transdisciplinary students are experts in the joint construction of new forms of knowledge.
