[Air-l] Latour, ANT, and Internet Research

[Kevin Leander]

Hi Christian,

Not a description of the entire internet, by a longshot, but you 
might be interested in this piece:

Leander, K. M. & Lovvorn, J. (2006). Literacy networks: Following the 
circulation of texts, bodies, and objects in the schooling and online 
gaming of one youth. Cognition & Instruction 24(3), 291-340.
