Abstract

The book contains papers from many authors that deal to immaterial work practices, social scientists, computer programmers, artists, writers, architects, etc. The analysis of the immaterial is part of the contemporary theoretical debate around the work of thinking, imagine or conceptions whose practices suppose the knowledge of the skills required for their execution, for a given project what was imagined is materialized. The authors point the differences between knowledge and expertise; the interfaces of the cognitive, intuitive, individual and collective that imply other forms of subjectivity in finding solutions to the problems and difficulties encountered in the course of these processes work artesanal.
