The article seeks to discuss the foundations of ethnography in the cyberspace and the theoretical-methodological possibilities opened by the Actor-Network Theory (ANT). In the socio-technical perspective designed by the ANT, ethnography is no longer view as an eminently interpretative activity, but as a description of the series of connections in which actants (“human” and “non-human”) are inserted in the course or their action. The question of the “repopulation” of the elements made visible by the description (in addition to the “human”), the dilemmas of the writing on action and agency, understood as what or who “make it happen”, besides the requirements established by the description of networks through the traces left by the actants, all that demand a revision of the ethnographic activity which is subjected to a debate in the article. Accordingly, the notions of producing symmetry and of a description with focus over the action are especially discussed, seeking to systematize the foundations of an ethnography of action.
