Abundance characterises
international projects in particular and human collaboration in
general; that is, the immense variety of practices, behaviours
and incidents that inundate life and are difficult to foresee
when defining a goal, designing a plan or organising a cooperation.
This leads to vagueness, because to include such a variety, the
words used to describe the international project and the models/plans
used to structure it must remain open and flexible. Based on an
ethnography of a joint international research project, this dissertation
illuminates how, with the help of linguistic resources, the group
deals with vagueness, copes with abundance and organises an international
collaboration. Within this framework, cultural differences and
cultural stereotypes cease being a source of misunderstanding
and conflict. Instead, they become linguistic resources to cope
with vagueness and abundance. Constructive interaction and successful
cooperation lie in a delicate equilibrium: Levelling Vagueness.
