The device is a useful concept for a researcher who studies phenomena where we can observe the reproducibility of practices and techniques, the hybridity of heterogeneous elements and flows related to games of power and visibility.

This concept includes technical, organizational and symbolic dimensions understood from sociological, philosophical, legal, economic, technological and even educational perspectives.
