Formal studies about interdisciplinarity in the socio-historic context of their evolution, involve, in addition to intellectuals, investments from the economic sector. This paper uses theoretical research to identify the historic moment at which interdisciplinarity and the world of labor came together, indicating possible implications of this encounter. From this perspective, this article focuses on the interface of interdisciplinarity with the world of labor and the importance that this category acquires in this space. To do so, it initially presents a brief theoretical and historical overview of the construction and diffusion of the concept of interdisciplinarity. It then analyzes the mechanisms of this construction and the diffusion of this concept in the world of production.
