Latour: Table of contents

A transcript of an OOPSLA talk: Table of contents

Here is the table of contents for a set of postings that, together, are a transcript of an OOPSLA talk on Bruno Latour and Actor-Network Theory (ANT). I will add links as I post new entries.

  1. Testing as an example: I use Actor-Network theory as a way to get ideas while consulting. Here’s one example.

  2. ANT and the building of the social: ANT is about tracing how “actors” (people and things) in a story push on each other. Stable patterns of interaction produce social objects like neighborhoods.

  3. Anthrax and standups: ANT analyses often give uncommon weight to inanimate objects. How that gave me an idea to make standups less dull.

  4. An ANT reading list.

  5. The divide: Early Agile, especially XP, had an ANTian delight in the interplay between the social and tools. That’s being lost. Someone should do something about it.
