Thank you Grant! Your explanations are very clear and your voice is very soothing in the storm of my imminent deadline.

Omg, I have been studying ANT for months.. Your explanation saved me ...

[jessapplegate]

Phenomenal explanation. Thank you so much.

Wow! What a terrific description Dr. Kien just gave. I listened to several videos before finding this one. I'm going to share it with my Culture and Subjectivity Class at University of West Georgia as Im assigned to facilitate a discussion on Latour's writing this week and I couldn't possibly explain this as eloquently.

“We can’t separate society from that which comprises it and makes it durable because it’s all part of the same society. There are social and non-social elements, but society is not what holds us together, it is what is held together.” Isn't one of the main tenants of Actor-Network Theory that there ARE NO Non-Social acts???

Thank you for this clear explanation about ANT. It helps me a lot for my research

[clairemariachambers]

It would be really nice if this came with a bibliography. I'd like to read the references on "translation" especially. Seems like that'd be an easy thing to include in the post.

if there is a ppt with it will be perfect.

Hmmm...sorry, I still do not understand a bit. Gosh.
