Universität Neu Denken
Die "Internationale Frauenuniversität "Technik und Kultur" (ifu 2000) war ein anspruchsvolles Studienreformprojekt mit dem Ziel, für viele hochschulpolitische Fragen Lösungen zu erproben.

Interdisziplinierung?
Die Zeit antagonistischer Wissenschaftskulturen scheint vorüber: Begriffe, Modelle und Objekte wandern zwischen den Geistes-, Sozial- und Technowissenschaften. Dabei entstehen neue und intensive Verflechtungen. So werden ehemals kritische Konzepte des vermeintlich Nicht-Technischen in den Technowissenschaften aufgegriffen, während biokybernetische Denkfiguren auch die Geisteswissenschaften durchziehen. Dieser Band verfolgt solche Übersetzungsversuche und fragt, ob sich eine kreative interdisziplinäre Wissenskultur oder eine restriktive, formale Kultur der 'Interdisziplinierung' auf der Grundlage einer neuen Technorationalität herausbildet.
