Translation (sociology)
In actor-network theory (ANT), translation is the process that allows a network to be represented by a single entity, which can in itself be an individual or another network.[1]
In 1986, Michel Callon published the seminal article "Some elements of a sociology of translation",[2] in which he summarized the process of translation as four 'moments' or phases.
- Problematization
- Interessement
- Enrolment
- Mobilization
