==Actor network theory== | |||
The Actor network theory (ANT) was developed by Bruno Latour back in 80s. The idea comes from a sociologic point of view, where Bruno Latour distinguishes the traditional meaning of social (=human, community focussed) adding to it other non-human "actors" like objects or activities like law, science, technology, etc. | The Actor network theory (ANT) was developed by Bruno Latour back in 80s.

*Latour proposes two positions which distinguishes traditional sociology from the ANT perspective. The first one could be compared with Niklas Luhmann social systems and the other with Deleuzian rhizomatic systems. | *Latour proposes two positions which distinguishes traditional sociology from the ANT perspective.
