diane,

Thank a lot for your response.
I think I got your point. My problem is, it seems to me that
interdisciplinary language for accountable for biology, politics,
economics, structures of systemic power social organizations has
the possibility to be trappped by suspicious desire for "universalization"
again.

How do you invent such langauge without trapping by "universalization"?
