Fibreculture Journal
Fibreculture Journal is a peer reviewed international journal that explores the issues and ideas of concern and interest to both the Fibreculture network and wider social formations. The journal encourages critical and speculative interventions in the debate and discussions concerning information and communication technologies and their policy frameworks, network cultures and their informational logic, new media forms and their deployment, and the possibilities of socio-technical invention and sustainability. Other broad topics of interest include the cultural contexts, philosophy and politics of:
:: information and creative industries
:: national and international strategies for innovation, research and development
:: education
:: media and culture, and
:: new media arts

Actor-network theory (or "ANT") is one of the more interesting developments to come out of that interdisciplinary knot that is variously termed “the rhetoric of science,” “the sociology of science,”and “science studies.” Like distributed cognition, ANT is a symmetric approach to understanding experience: it dispenses with Cartesianism by using the same framework, concepts, and vocabularies for both humans and nonhumans. But unlike distributed cognition, ANT is concerned with the political and rhetorical.

Latour, Bruno: On Actor Network Theory: A few clarifications 1
Latour explains why ANT networks should not be mistaken for technical networks, social networks. He explains the connection with Diderot's philosophical rejections of Cartesian divide between matter and spirit, and Deleuze and Guattari's rhizomes. This ar

Exploring the properties of actor-networks is the task that the Paris group
of science and technology studies has set itself to tackle since the
beginning of the 1980s (Callon, Law, Rip, 1986). However this theory has
been often misunderstoond and hence much abused. I would like in this paper
to list some of the interesting properties of networks and to explain some
of the misunderstandings that have arisen. I will not concern myself here
with the quantitative studies especially the so called 'co-word analysis'
since they are themselves misunderstood because of the difficulty of exactly
grasping the social theory and quaint ontology entailed by actor-network
(but see Callon, Courtial, Lavergne 1989a,b).
Three misunderstandings are due to common usages of the word network itself
and the connotations they imply.
