在技术变革的情况下，制度的维持尤其有趣，因为既有技术的变化，又有基本思维方式的坚持。在这种情况下，人工制品可能会发挥重要作用，因为它们受到新技术的影响，但可能仍然与旧的价值观有关。这提出了一个核心问题：从事制度维护的行动者在人工制品的认知维度上进行了什么工作？我们通过对2004年至2008年法国音乐产业中玩家努力维护知识产权制度的研究来回答这个问题。我们采访了26位演员，并在很长一段时间内汇编了一个次要数据基础。我们的结果强调，即使在技术转变的情况下，一些人工制品也传达了制度维护。更具体地说，我们表明，参与制度维护的行为者的努力目标是操纵注入人工制品的价值。我们还介绍了他们为设计全球设备所做的努力，类似于“dispositif”的概念。嵌入在这些全球设备中的一些人工制品成为节点，迫使该领域的参与者遵守所捍卫的制度。
Institutional maintenance is particularly intriguing when it occurs in the case of technological shifts, with both changes in technologies but persistence in fundamental ways of thinking. In such a case, artefacts may play a significant role, since they are impacted by new technologies but may remain associated with old values. This raises a core question: What work is carried out on the cognitive dimension of artefacts by actors engaged in institutional maintenance? We answer this question through a study of players' endeavors to maintain the institution of intellectual property rights in the French music industry from 2004 to 2008. We interviewed 26 actors and compiled a base of secondary data over an extended period of time. Our results underline that some artefacts convey institutional maintenance, even in the case of technological shifts. More specifically, we show that actors engaged in institutional maintenance target their efforts towards the manipulation of values infused into artefacts. We also shed light on their efforts to design global devices, akin to the idea of “dispositif”. Embedded in these global devices, some artefacts become nodal points forcing actors in the field to comply with the institution that is defended.
