The article analyzes the conception of a trading zone as a space of action and belief coordination. P. Galison proposed the conception based on anthropological and linguistic analogies. The article reviews the anthropological analogies aimed at building up the conception and the legitimacy of their use. The conclusion is that the analogies used are not accurate enough. If the tribes interacting in trading zones have a common history, material culture, and practices, they can hardly have significant differences. If they are not in possession of all these characteristics, they are unlikely to remind us of different groups of scientists who participate in common researches. The article also contains the hypothesis that acceptance of a common habitus is a condition subject to which the scientists can arrange the mutual understanding space. It issues new challenges to the scientific community, as all people related to university education also accept the scientists’ habitus.

大学作为“贸易区”创建的社会背景

本文分析了贸易区作为行动和信念协调空间的概念。P. Galison提出了基于人类学和语言类比的概念。本文回顾了旨在建立其概念和使用合法性的人类学类比。结论是所使用的类比不够准确。如果在贸易区中相互作用的部落具有共同的历史，物质文化和习俗，那么它们几乎不会有显着差异。如果他们不具备所有这些特征，就不可能使我们想起参与共同研究的不同科学家群体。本文还包含这样一个假设，即接受共同的习惯是科学家可以安排相互理解空间的条件。
