This paper intends to show that some tools developed within the Anthropological Theory of Didactics (ATD), praxeologies, functions of the technological discourse, institutional determinations, are key concepts of an epistemological anthropology interested by the production, circulation and transposition processes in the field of social cognition. The same concepts may be used by the socioepistemological approach to organize research and further analysis on crucial objects of this framework as prácticas de referencia and prácticas sociales. In order to do so, we reformulate with the considered ATD tools some elements of the socioepistemological study one of the authors dedicated to the dressmaking professional environment in Argentina.
