Space, locative media and actor-network theory

The social is what emerges from associations, according to actor-network theory (ANT). Associations between human and non-human actors (everything that produces action) are always localized. ANT attempts to analyze how these associations and their localizations are created. This is to know the social. This kind of associative focus on the social may be particularly interesting to identify spatialization in communication processes, as well as in processes emerging through current geolocation media. This article is part of a broader research on "locative media" based on ANT. Here we discuss, in particular, the notion of space.
