Flickr Mini-Assignment #1: Thinking about Actor-Network Theory

Photograph an artifact/entity (human or non-human) that is not in use in the way we typically expect (either broken or enrolled in an uncommon or counter-intuitive way).

Post directly to our Flickr pool: http://www.flickr.com/groups/info203fall2012/ or (for those of you who don’t wish to create or use your Yahoo, Facebook or Google account to login – e-mail to Elisa: elisa @ ischool)

In the caption section answer one of these questions:

  • What (missing) entities must it be enrolled with to make it what it more typically is?
  • How is it enrolled in this particular case to make it what it isn’t?

Completing this mini-assignment contributes to your class participation grade. Due on  Tuesday February 7.
