Click Here: Untangling Society with Actor-Network Theory
Editor’s note:
This is a pretty radical and profound re-imagining of the concept of agency, at root and core. Wow!
I’ve been following a trail … trying to understand what the fundamental nature of the problem in modern (and postmodern) political theory and philosophy might be, and it led me to a trail marked “relational ethics” and “relational ontology” as correctives to the basic ontological confusions at the root of modernity. I can smell how this trail here, around “untangling,” may be just what I need at the moment.
The last two R-Words are off my screen. Here's my current concern: more and more articles on the inefficacy of antibiotics are finally out of the closet. As we destroy indigenous cultures AND THEIR LAND
we have obliterated the medical gifts which modern pharm learned and sourced from.
Chemicals used world wide in agriculture, rivers, lakes, rainwater are now toxic, and what remains in aquifers is threatened by drought, illegal use, and eventually more toxins.
No doubt the pharmecuetical companies are in high gear working to meet the need. More
chemicals at unaffordable prices are not acceptable to me.
On so many urgent fronts, I can't imagine time for untangling. But I admire your direction and
love your mind.
