“To treat a plan - or any other form of prescriptive representation - as a specification for a course of action shuts down precisely the space of inquiry that begs for investigation; that is, the relations between an ordering device and the contingent labors through which it is produced and made reflexively accountable to ongoing activity.” –Lucy Suchman, Human-Machine Reconfigurations
"Is it our fault if the networks are simultaneously real, like nature, narrated, like discourse, and collective, like society? Are we to pursue them while abandoning all the resources of criticism, or are we to abandon them while endorsing the common sense of the critical tripartition?" –Bruno Latour, We Have Never Been Modern
