Distinguishing between two concepts : the working community’s “collective ‘trade memory’” and one’s own private “personal memory of work”. This paper presents an analysis of a dialogue between two technology education teachers during a cross-self-confrontation session. It strives to show that in dialogue among peers sharing the same profession and researchers, resorting to one’s trade memory and professional genre favours the development of interpretations concerning professional rules, thus reviving and preserving the discussion of professional issues thought to be no longer relevant.
