Les objets techniques et leurs utilisateurs

Year: 1993

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: For the analysis of action using technical devices, a set of concepts is proposed, combining resources of the sociology of translation and of action. Three ways of tying together technical content and actors’ competences can be followed for this purpose: translation, cooperation, coordination. Finally, the author examines the conditions of infelicity of action using technical devices.
