| Abstract: | Actor-Network Theory (ANT) is considered a controversial approach in that it appears to promote a sociological perspective that lacks substantive political critique. This is argued to be particularly true in ANT's "translations" in management and organization studies (MOS). In this article, it is argued that the "ANT and After" literature offers the potential to develop such a political critique. In particular it is suggested it presents the opportunity to develop an approach that de-naturalizes organization(s), has the ability to deliver critical performativity, and at the same time offer a reflexive approach to management and organizational knowledge. |
