The techno-scientific development, through their networks of production and distribution of knowledge has gradually changed the culture through hybrid technologies, allowing interactions between humans and non-humans to be increasingly deeper. Experience is a process in which the instruments are not only technical devices to perform actions; they are able to interact, partly copying human elements, as well as adding other superhuman elements. This interaction has provided a continuous technological development, promoting a series of technical and social changes. New phenomena, from the current context of prominence of Technoscience, are altering the process of organization and perception of society. Such phenomenon is part of an integrated and complex network of elements, where linear and fragmentary views, typical of modern thought, cannot grasp the phenomena in their amplitude. Thus, this study aims to discuss the theoretical and methodological challenges for the social sciences to emerge within the context of interaction between technologies/humans, which place hybridism as a central category of analysis. The methodology consists of a theoretical discussion, involving comparative analysis of the central categories of thought of Bruno Latour and Donna Haraway.
