**ANT** scholars (you have read about Michel Callon or Bruno Latour) are critical of the notion of _the Social_ as a separate realm from _the Material_. Instead, ANT aims to map relations that are simultaneously material (between things) and semiotic or social-cultural (between concepts). As such ANT is relational, it is a constructivist approach that focuses on how events and phenomena obtain meaning through the relationships of different heterogeneous actors or actants. ANT is particularly interesting for us in studying processes of digitalization that as you know entail both material and cultural/social aspects.
