Because of the gaps pointed out by the literature on organizational knowledge and learning, this article constitutes a reflection on organizational knowledge and learning by means of the situated and technoscience approaches. Thus, learning is regarded as a theory of the organizational and social movement, therefore, it has a procedural and relational nature. This alternative allows looking with different eyes at the phenomenon through two still incipient approaches in studies within this area, since both are interested in the process through which a "new object" becomes a "less new object". Works by Latour are highlighted, an author who explores the concepts of agency and time/space as locally construed. The organization is seen, from this perspective, as an authority system. A theoretical and empirical study carried out with industrial plants is used in this article as a basis to explore the dynamic focus of knowledge and understand learning as part of a social practice of the organizational life. We also highlight the potential of the technoscience and situated approaches to analyze organizational knowledge and learning, considering them in a broader and more relational manner, in a reality where there is dynamics and implicit movement. We point out the remaining implications, both with regard to content and methodology, and highlight the need for further theoretical and theoretical and empirical studies.
