TL;DRAbstract

The sense of professional telematics goes beyond the material technology to englobe a multi-faceted reality, a in the marketing sense of the word. France telecom who has the main responsability for offering this service (in the form of videotex and teletel) makes use of the concept both in its discourse and its strategy. Neither the technical determinism nor the social determinism explain this construction. The method adapted consists in finding in a genealogical perspective, the manner in which the discourse employed by france telecom incorporates and makes use of certain aspects of social practice while mainteniring its strategy which is to develop minitel into an universal toal. This evolution, far from being linear, consists of reality which can only be defined clearly by placing them in the context : modification of the terminology, hybridization of the technology.
