Publisher Description:

Actor-Network Theory has grown into one of the most innovative and influential approaches for social science research. Originating in the field of science and technology studies with scholars Michel Callon, Bruno Latour and John Law, it is now used widely across the social sciences and beyond. In this four-volume collection, Richie Nimmo brings together defining research articles on Actor-Network Theory to chart its emergence, development and transformation over time, as well as its application in multiple fields.

This comprehensive major work is organised thematically and features sections on:

Part One - Emergence, Development and Transformation:

The Sociology of Translation
Techno-Politics and Sociotechnical Relations
Reflexivity, Heterogeneity and Symmetry
Topology and Post-Social Ontologies
Materiality and Ontological Politics

Part Two - Translations, Parallels and Mobilisations:

Arts, Taste and Cultures
Bodies, Medicine and Disabilities
Hybrid Geographies and Spaces
