Der Anteil der Dinge an der Gesellschaft

How can we think the interaction of humans and things in society? Is it possible to view things as social actors? Gustav Roßler argues for a stronger consideration of things in sociology. He presents considerations on shared cognition and makes suggestions for further developments of central concepts in research in science and technology studies, including agency, quasi-objects, boundary objects, technological objects, epistemic things, actor-networks, heterogeneous associations and object institutions.
