{Spam?} Re: [actor-network-theory] Help for student trying to apply Latour's ANT(Reassembling the social) - please!

For pure fun and lighthearted application, try:
Becoming the Milky Way: Mobile Phones and Actor
Networks at a U2 Concert
Online Publication Date: 01 June 2007
Chesher, Chris (2007) 'Becoming the Milky Way: Mobile Phones
and Actor Networks at a U2 Concert', Continuum, 21:2, 217 - 225
To link to this article: DOI: 10.1080/10304310701269065
URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10304310701269065

For multiple examples the book by Bijker and John Law (1992) Shaping technology/
Building society. Studies in sociotechnical change

For Latour doing one example in detail, and in a whole book, Aramis or the love
of technology

The website of John Law, does pretty much all of it
but might take a bit of searching, the link i usually use seems to have changed
but this one also does it
http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fass/centres/css/ant/antres.htm


and there are people like me lightly blogging my phd and almost every post
refers to an understanding that would not be there were it not informed by an
ant approach to my thinking

Hope you enjoy your study,

Dear Jonathan,

Have a look at Latour's 'Paris Invisible City' (1998) in which Latour takes
a more empirical approach than in Reassembling the social. This might be
enlightening....

On the other hand, ANT it self is also heterogeneous and fluid...so it is
not really a ready made framework.., but should therefore be 'translated'
to the study at hand....so it might be difficult to 'apply' Latour's ANT to
a paper

Good suggestion. Someone now should write the vademecum on ANT since the Master jhas authorized it in his last book. First rule: Look at the actors and follow...

Hi Jonathan, I'm not sure it helps, but you may have a look at pages 17-18 (starting at the middle of page 17) of a book chapter I wrote some time ago,...
