Abstract

This paper addresses epistemological issues involved in the study of consumer-object relations and demonstrates the advantages of actor-network theory for considering the agency of broader networks of actants. Drawing on the author’s study of digital consumption objects, this paper explicitly relates actor-networ theory’s metaphysical assumptions to processes of data generation and analysis within CCT.
