Publication Date: 1999-05-04
Actor network theory is a powerful approach which combines the insights of post-structuralism with an analysis of the materials of social life. This controversial and path-breaking volume extends ANT beyond studies of technology, power and organisation to the body, subjectivity, politics, and cultural difference, and puts it into cutting-edge dialogue with feminism, anthropology, psychology and economics.

Another copy is also available at Bryn Mawr.

The book focuses on core Latourian themes: contribution to science studies, philosophical approach to the rise and fall of modernity, innovative thoughts on politics, nature, and ecology, contribution to the branch of sociology known as ANT: Actor-Network Theory.
