This is illustrated by examples from interviews that the author conducted with women computer science students and faculty in a university in Malaysia. The article argues that the understanding of, as well as the performance of the transcultural interview might benefit from the highly pragmatic character of scientific investigations, focusing on using locally available resources to produce knowledge; and that this in turn may enhance our capacity to do feminist research.

Consulting engineering companies play a key role in the ongoing shaping and reshaping of the physical qualities of nature and culture, of landscapes and the built environment. To what extent do they take on such responsibilities and what make them engage with environmental issues? The most important way of doing environmental concern was to fulfill legal regulations and framework. The legal framework had what we could call a double performativity -it worked practically by ensuring compliance, epistemically by helping to define what constituted environmental concerns in the context of the various consulting engineering practices. Thus, in a Foucauldian sense, the legal framework represents a set of technologies to do environmental concerns.
