# Reassembling the Social: An Introduction to Actor-Network-Theory

- **Author**: Bruno Latour
- **Year**: 2005
- **Summary**: This is a foundational text for Actor-Network Theory (ANT). Latour argues against traditional sociology's focus on rigid social structures. Instead, he proposes that the social is a dynamic process of 'translation' where heterogeneous actors—both human and non-human (e.g., technology, texts, microbes)—form networks and alliances. The theory emphasizes tracing these associations without making a priori distinctions between human agency and non-human agency.
