This special issue questions the configuration of culture and technique 
in their environment. How, by interfering, do they hold together 
(Ricœur, 1990)? The root of the word culture itself contains the idea of 
the cultivation and at the same time of the transformation of the matter 
(Williams, 1985). Is it the technique that transforms the culture 
of communication at the risk of standardizing it or is it the culture or 
rather cultural hegemonies that lead to technical transformations 
(Pignier & Robert, 2015) and their more or less diversified 
appropriations? And beyond that, how does technique/ do technics/ does 
technology interrogate the transformations of objects and practices of 
culture (Doueihi, 2011)? The notion of transformation emerges here as 
operative for thinking about this question, especially if we approach 
the relationship between culture and technique with the example of 
communication between beings. A certain level of change is needed for a 
technical fact to produce a cultural paradigm equivalent to the changes 
induced by the emergence of writing (Souchier, Jeanneret and Le Marec, 
2003), industrialization or computational reason (Bachimont, 2010).

We would like to thank the authors Danielle M. BEBEY Fabrizio DEFILIPPI, 
Milton Fernando GONZALEZ RODRIGUEZ, Lauriane GUILLOU, Julie MARQUES, 
Sandra MELLOT, Thomas MICHAUD, Anh NGOC, Magali PRODHOMME, Justine 
SIMON, Yuwen ZHANG for their excellent articles, as well as the cultural 
anthropologist Ina DIETZSCH for having lent herself to the exercise of 
an interdisciplinary interview, of course without forgetting the members 
of the reading committee for their essential contribution.
We would also like to thank the team behind the 
journal/Interfaces numériques/ for welcoming this issue and more 
globally for their strong contribution to the visibility of current 
research in Human and Social Sciences and communication sciences in 
particular.
