By being attentive to “what they do and have done” we have made explicit a part of the chain of proofs, formatting as they are performative processes.

Innovation can be seen as a struggle between scripts, for the ability to gain the upper hand and to impose their models of action.

We are going to make use of other cases as well, in order to examine different performation configurations, to deepen, in particular, the weaving together of the populations of technical and human beings with their grammars and combinations with the many interconnected passions that run through them.
