Résumé
Summary: Distance cooperation between persons in a professional context is currently the object of convergent interest of information specialists, social scientists and businesses alike. Tools for synchronous cooperation have been developed over the past fifteen years in the Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) forum, the aim of which is to contribute to shaping these tools, defining their use and inventing their future market. By successively analysing the -perspective of four different disciplines - ergonomics, psychology, ethnography and sociology - this article proposes a bibliographical analysis of the main social science studies in the CSCW. Specific attention is paid to the role within this community of the ethnographic approach to cooperative practices, which helps to show how actors and technological tools co- determine one another during their interaction.
