Organizing rocks: Actor–network theory and space
通过地下矿山的民族志研究,批判性地探讨行动者网络理论的空间概念,提出空间多重性方法,强调共存与差异、包容与排斥,以保持经验开放性。
In an ethnography of the organizing of an underground mine, this article critically engages with actor–network theory’s theorizing of space, particularly the risk of drifting into spatial pluralism. Inspired by Annemarie Mol’s The Body Multiple, a space multiple approach is enrolled in which seemingly disparate enactments of the mining operations are understood in terms of coexistence and difference, inclusion and exclusion. Such an account attempts to cast aside a kind of neatness that jeopardizes the empirical openness that makes actor–network theory so fruitful to work with in organization studies dealing with spatial complexity.
