The need to take into account technique in analyses of social phenomena now seems obvious, given the place that it occupies in our industrialised societies, which George Friedmann, one of the founders of the sociology of work, said arises within a ‘technical civilisation’ (Friedmann, 1964). And technique does not exist on its own without the technical objects that the tools constitute. However, for a long time, objects considered as something belonging to the natural order, appeared as intruders in the human sciences (Blandin, 2002, p. 7).
