actor–network theory

Geography
  • Focusing primarily on the actor—human or nonhuman, individual or group, conscious or unconscious—this theory explores the interconnectedness of all things. ANT recognizes that all objects and things exhibit consciousness, and through a consciousness, interact heterogeneously in space; the location of the interaction(s), where they are performed homogeneously, is the landscape. If, as ANT promotes, all objects and things exhibit consciousness, then the closer in space they are to one another, the more essential they are to each other (Allen (2011), Area 43, 3, 274). The basis of every action and decision depends on the actor’s subjective interpretations, which are made and mutually adjusted in interaction with others. Jóhannesson and Bærenholdt (in N. Thrift and R. Kitchin 2009) clarify that ‘the ANT approach should be understood as a theory of what to study rather than an interpretive framework of the world’. See Sheehan (2011) Area 43, 3, 336 on ANT as a reflexive tool. For a clear demonstration of the application of ANT to a geographical topic, see Bosco in S. Aitken and G. Valentine (2006), pp. 200–201.
