Actor–network theory

Actor–Network Theory (ANT) is a way of understanding how different people, ideas, and things work together to create something new. It views the world as being full of actors, or people and things that are working together to create a network, or a system where everything is connected. Each actor in the network can have a different perspective or job, and each element in the network affects the others in some way. This means that when we think about the world, we look at who and what is involved in making things happen, and not just the final product. In this way, ANT helps us understand how complex networks work together to achieve something new.
