Jedes Medium braucht ein Modicum. Zur Behelfstheorie von Akteur-Netzwerken
Abstract
ANT outlines two fields of research: Media of agentship and agencies of media, which in their entanglement form the starting point of an actor-media theory (AMT). Since the triple role of media – as intermediary, mediator and device – is currently being studied in a series of analyses, this paper suggests to introduce the procedural concept of the auxiliary medium to AMT. By the auxiliary in- and adscription of media and tools it should become clear that one cannot determine in advance where to fi nd the media in the complex of an action, and that the media’s part in the concatenation of action initiatives is not fi xed. In any case, a modicum of media is necessary.
