Hi Amalia,
Great to see your post and as you can see this group has not been
active in some time.So as to who does what ,I can't help you on that
score.But here
http://www.ensmp.fr/~latour/expositions/002_parliament.html
is something you might be interested in.I can happily provide you
with more electronic resources on actor network theory if you wish
and I would recommend you read Science in Action if you have not done
so.
"1987: Science in Action, How to Follow Scientists and Engineers
through Society, Harvard University Press, Cambridge Mass.
Written for a large public interested in renewing the understanding
of scientific practice and its connection with the rest of society
this book uses anecdotes, case studies, examples from many different
periods and disciplines, to define rules of methods which can be used
in following scientists around; the key role is given to non-humans,
that is to associations that cut accross the former divide between
nature and society. It can be used as a general introduction to
science studies."
In the preperation stage is this from Latour's site
"XII. Actor Network Theory - A Personal Guide to Sociology
in preparation: (provisonal title), Oxford University Press.
How to trace social connections by using actor-network-theory? To the
sociology of the social, actor-network-theory, growing out of science
studies, has opposed a sociology of associations. There exist however
no introduction to this small subfield of social theory. This book
presents the argument by starting with the five sources of
uncertainties at the basis of social science: about group formation,
about agency, about the role of object, the nature of science and,
finally, about the social studies themselves. Built along the
metaphor of a travel guide, it then proposes to the visitor a way to
follow associations and thus to take up again the task of the
sociology of the social but with new tools."
