description This aim of this paper is to discuss how producing professional gestures can be supported by the history of a profession and by the different ways of doing, which are usually carried out within the professional setting. The study, run in a heart surgery department, has enabled us to capture one of the functions belonging to this collective history, and the evaluation of the gestures made by the workers: a resource for individual action. The methodological and theoretical framework used is that of the clinic of activity. We went ahead and filmed the activity of two voluntary interns in their working environment during a surgical operation. These films were followed by self-confrontation, both simple and crossed. Based on two extracts from these interviews, we have attempted to identify the individual resources facilitating the backup for the dialogical activity leading to a precise gesture during work. At the same time, we questioned the psychological function of the collective group regarding professional controversies brought on by a crossed self-confrontation. Moreover, we have tried to differentiate a shared gesture from a « collective of gestures » as an help for a dialogical activity .
