Summary/Abstract: This paper tends to be an exposition of the understanding of the different effects of the different ‘turns’ (linguistic, cultural, historical). They may also look like non-interdisciplinary tendencies; this is also to be seen in their occasionally and often frequently inscribed intention to ultimately ensure that the application of the method projected towards the other discipline will render amorphous, erase and appropriate the boundaries of its specific subject. However, the silhouettes of the disciplinary boundaries are preserved also in the joint forcible effect of the different turns. They manifest their specificities indirectly – through the differences in their targets and the definition of the subjects and methods vis-a-vis which they develop their disciplinary resistances.
