#actornetworktheory — Public Fediverse posts

I can't let this go without waving my hands in #STS and pointing to this and saying, "see, affective ties to technology and non-human actors are everywhere!"

#actornetworktheory #ANT and all that

!! 1980s social science to the rescue:

#STS #ActorNetworkTheory

Eventually managed to read #AyselSultan's @sts review in @sts_journal of Prasad Amit's (2023) #ScienceStudies Meets #Colonialism. Very helpful for my take on #STS as the review discusses how the book critically discusses #ANT #ActorNetworkTheory and #PostColonialSTS https://sciencetechnologystudies.journal.fi/article/view/136097

Gosh, what a morning @KAEEGoetheUni: trying to think with the analysis of the IPCC by Neyland & Coopmans (drawing on #ethnomethodology and #ActorNetworkTheory*) about the #IPCC** in an #environmentalSTS course. Ok, I get it, there is an issue with #acronyms in #teaching #sts. But I love it so much :)

** the #InternationalPanelOfClimateChange

Isn't that a story of #translation ala #ANT, #ActorNetworkTheory? Design intentions betrayed, design, body, voice, documents, humans, capital? Thanks to @sts for the ANT goggles :)

¿Alguien más se conoce el paper de Geels "Multi-level perspectives..." (2001)? Porque me lo estoy leyendo esta vez con calma y me está pareciendo bastante desastroso en la argumentación -y la excusa de que están tratando de modelar e integrar 'conceptos analíticos' y evadir a la vez lo ontológico aka "melasuda que haya correspondencia con evidencias y marcos empíricos" me parecía ya de orange flag

Es de donde salen diagramas como este -que es de nuevo lioso

Imagine an annotated bibliography of #ActorNetworkTheory scholarship. Useful? Impossible? Meaningless? Divisive? All may be true, but when asked, I decided to try to put something together. Managed to fit in around 170 references.

For those with access, the official version is actually quite neat with links and easy reference export:

For all others, here's a pdf:

Although Bruno Latour's theories have had contradictory interpretations, he is a source of very interesting ideas and tools for understanding the world and acting politically in it (even if we do not agree with all his ideas). A highly recommended book is "War of the Worlds: What about Peace?" (2002). Available on BL's website: http://www.bruno-latour.fr/sites/default/files/85-WAR-OF-WORLDS-GB.pdf

"The common world we took
for granted must instead be progressively composed, it is not already constituted. The common world is not behind us and ready made, like nature, but ahead of us, an immense task which we will need to accomplish one step at a time. It is not above us, like the arbiter who mediates conflicts, it is what is at stake in these conflicts, what could become the subject of compromise—should negotiation take place. The common world is now up for grabs".

Hi everyone, is this thing on? 😅

Big thanks to #AoIR (hi @admin1) for creating this instance and inviting your members to join.

Quick introduction: I'm a second year PhD at University of Westminster, currently working on my research design to audit design features in direct messaging apps. Be great to connect with likeminded researchers into #politicaleconomy, #datafication, #actornetworktheory, #digitalmethods and pushing for more #socialgood to come through in the tech world ✊

Thoughts on good old #ActornetworkTheory (#ANT), anyone?

I found it to be a useful conceptual tool as it helped me to understand some of the limits of #technology

Fun reading:

As a type of headsup, members of the AIR-L mailing-list (aka #AoIR, the Association of Internet Researchers) are discussing a transition from birdsite to the fediverse. Possibly with a specific instance.
So far, @robertwgehl sounds like the most active from that group.
Things could get interesting in terms of scholarship about the Fediverse itself.
